Mindful Movement And GAME BASED Training In Developmental Delay (MINDGAME)

17 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Riphah International University

Comparative Effects Of Mindful Movement And Game Based Training On Motor Skills, Balance And Gait In Children With Developmental Delay

Developmental delay in children is characterized by delayed acquisition of cognitive, motor, language, and social skills and is commonly associated with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and genetic disorders. Children with developmental delay frequently experience impairments in motor skills, balance, and gait, which negatively a ffect their functional independence and social participation. Addressing these motor deficits is essential to enhance their quality of life.

Mindful movement and game-based training are two therapeutic approaches that have shown potential in improving motor performance in this population. Mindful movement emphasizes slow, controlled movements, body awareness, emotional regulation, imaginative play, and biomechanical warm-up exercises to enhance motor control. In contrast, game-based training employs engaging and interactive activities to improve motor coordination, balance, strength, and social interaction.

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of mindful movement and game-based training in children with developmental delay. The study will be conducted at Acme Hospital over a 10-month period and will include 36 children aged 9-11 years selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Participants will be assigned into two groups: Group A will receive mindful movement therapy, and Group B will undergo game-based training. Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools, including the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2), Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBS), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Observational Gait Scale (OGS), and Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS), to evaluate motor skills, balance, gait, and overall motor proficiency.

Descrizione dettagliata

Developmental delay in children is characterized by a delay in cognitive, motor, language, and social skills development. It can be associated with conditions like cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and genetic disorders. Children with developmental delay often struggle with motor skills, balance, and gait, which can impair their ability to perform everyday tasks and engage socially. Addressing these issues is essential for improving their quality of life. Mindful movement and game-based training are two promising therapeutic interventions. Mindful movement, including practices like imaginative and reflective play, biomechanical warm ups improves motor skills by focusing on slow, deliberate movements, body awareness, and emotional regulation. Game-based training, on the other hand, uses engaging and interactive activities to enhance motor coordination, balance, and strength, while also fostering social interaction and cognitive development. This study is a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of two interventions-mindful movement and game-based training-on children with developmental delay. It will be conducted at Acme Hospital, over a 10 month period. The study will involve 36 children aged 9-11 years, diagnosed with developmental delay, and will employ non-probability convenient sampling. The participants will be divided into two groups: Group A will receive mindful movement therapy, while Group B will undergo game-based training. Data will be collected using several assessment tools, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2): <40 (22).Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBS) score of less than 45 (23). Functional Reach Test (FRT): 6-7 inches (22). Observational Gait Scale (OGS): >10 (22). Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS): <37. all of which have demonstrated strong reliability and validity. These tools will evaluate motor skills, balance, gait, and overall motor proficiency in the children.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Arm A: Mindful Movement Intervention
Participants in Arm A will receive a mindful movement program aimed at improving motor skills, balance, coordination, and emotional regulation.
Comportamentale: Mindful movement

The intervention includes biomechanical warm-up exercises, imaginative play, animal-based movements, and reflective activities to enhance body awareness, posture, focus, and relaxation. Emphasis is placed on slow, controlled movements to promote mindfulness and overall physical and mental well-being. Each session will last 30-45 minutes, conducted two times per week, total 12 weeks.

Components include:

Biomechanical warm-ups: Gentle joint mobility exercises such as shoulder circles and slow marching (5-10 minutes).

Imaginative play: Creative movement activities (e.g., tree pose with storytelling, emotion walks, breathing with hand tracing) , Animal walks(bear walk, cat walk) to improve strength, coordination, and balance (approximately 30 minutes).

Reflection and cool down: Mirror movements and "balloon hands" using slow, controlled hand movements to promote relaxation and motor control.(5 minutes)

It rates 8 specific gait components in the sagittal plane-including knee position, foot contact, and heel rise-resulting in a maximum score of 22 per limb. Lower scores indicate greater impairments
Baseline and 12 weeks
Edinburgh Gait Scale
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 12 weeks
The Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) is a comprehensive, video-based observational tool used to assess gait abnormalities, primarily in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It evaluates 17 parameters per limb across sagittal and coronal planes-focusing on the foot, knee, hip, pelvis, and trunk-using a 3-point ordinal scale (0=normal, 1=mild/moderate, 2=severe).
