About this study

Official title: Psychomotor Therapy Effects Adaptive Behavior and Motor Proficiency of Adults With Intellectual Disability

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) usually present limitations at adaptive behavior and motor skills, which lead to limitations/barriers in the daily independent functioning of this population. The main goal of this research is to analyze the efficacy of a Psychomotor Intervention Program on adults with and without IDD, through an assessment of their progress both in adaptive behavior competences and motor proficiency skills.

Read the detailed description

This study sample comprised 15 participants divided by three groups of 5 individuals each: one group with IDD (with different ethiology), another one with Down Syndrome and the third with typical development. Ages range from 22 to 31 years-old (Average=26,5; St. Deviation=3,76), 6 were females and 9 males. All adults with IDD were all institutionalized at an Occupation Activities Centre of an institution and adults without ID were selected by convenience, with ages comprised within the selected range. All groups were compared through both evaluation instruments: the Portuguese version of Adaptive Behavior Scale (PABS) and Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test (BOT-2). Both tests were applied according to original protocols. Ethics requisites were fulfilled. After the initial assessment, a Psychomotor Intervention Program was designed specifically for participants with IDD. This program integrated individual and group sessions during 3 months, and the main goals of the program were related to motor coordination (balance, manual dexterity and coordination, global and fine praxis), economic and professional activities, academic and verbal skills.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Psychomotor Therapy in people with Intellectual Disability, run by Faculdade de Motricidade Humana.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Test of Motor Proficiency of Bruininski-Oseretsky 2 (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
