About this study
Official title: The Effect of Body Percussion Training on Neuromotor Performance, Attention, and Functionality in Adolescents With Mild Intellectual Disability: A Randomized Controlled Study
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of group-based rhythm-based body percussion training on neuromotor performance, attention, and functionality in adolescents with mild intellectual disability.
The study will be conducted in individuals aged 14-18 years with mild intellectual disability using a two-arm, parallel-group, evaluator-blind design. Participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups using a simple randomization method.
Read more
The experimental group will receive structured body percussion training twice a week for 45 minutes over 8 weeks. This training consists of rhythmic patterns including clapping, knee tapping, chest tapping, finger snapping, and foot tapping, and will be presented as a progressively advancing program with metronome accompaniment.
The control group will receive passive music listening without intervention for the same duration and frequency.
Participants will be evaluated at two time points: before and after the intervention. Evaluation tools include: The tests cover neuromotor performance with the Minnesota Hand Skills Test and the Four Square Step Test, rhythm coordination with the Metronome Synchronization Test, attention with the Stroop Test, and functionality with the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Chart 2.0.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Rhythm-based body percussion training groupBehavioural
Body percussion training consists of specific movement combinations and rhythmic patterns. The basic striking areas used in training are defined as the hand, chest, knee, and foot. Foot movements are divided into two sub-regions to produce different sound tones: heel strike ("dum") and toe strike ("tek"). All movements are supported by visual symbols to make it easier for participants to follow the rhythmic patterns.
Control group (passive listening) groupBehavioural
The music used for body percussion training will be played at specific intervals for 45 minutes to maintain attention (in 3 rounds: 15 minutes listening followed by a 1-2 minute break). The music volume will be adjusted so as not to disturb any of the participants. Metronome adjustments, which are important in progression, will be applied similarly to the experimental group.

Participants will be asked to listen to the music in a comfortable seated position without any motor participation. They will be given simple instructions during the session not to talk, not to think about other things (just listen to the music), to sit quietly, and not to fall asleep (sit quietly, listen to the music, etc.). Distracting stimuli in the environment will be reduced. The music volume will be adjusted to a level that does not disturb all participants. Participants in the control group will be asked not to participate in any structured music listening activities (choir, concert, etc.) during the session.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Minnesota Hand Dexterity Test
This is a test used to assess upper extremity function and coordination. Participants sit in a seated position with a table in front of them and are asked to move, place, or rotate small, standard-sized, disc-shaped objects across the table to varying distances within the shortest possible time. The placement test can be performed separately for the dominant and non-dominant sides. Participants are asked to pick up 40 cylindrical objects one by one using only one hand and place them in the appropriate hole. The rotation test requires coordinated work of both hands. Individuals are asked to pick up a disc-shaped object with one hand, lift it, rotate it so that the other side is facing the floor, pass it to the other hand, and then place the object in the corresponding hole with the other hand. For individuals with mild intellectual disabilities, step-by-step guidance will be provided as needed to manage complexity during the test.

Measured: 8 weeks of training
The Four Square Step Test
The test assesses dynamic balance through multi-directional stepping. The test area will be prepared by placing four 90 cm rods on the floor to create four squares. The test requires stepping forward, backward, and sideways over the obstacles in a specific sequence. Participants attempt to complete the test by stepping between the squares in the required sequence as quickly as possible; they must avoid touching the rods and follow the correct step sequence. The timer starts when the first foot touches the first square and ends when the last foot touches the fourth square. For individuals with mild intellectual disabilities, colored numbers (1 = green, 2 = blue, 3 = black, 4 = yellow) will be placed at the corners of the squares, and a red circle indicating forward-facing position will be placed on the wall.

Metronome Synchronization Test:
This is a test that assesses sensorimotor synchronization skills using a clapping task accompanied by a metronome. Participants are asked to clap in sync with the metronome rhythm, and the accuracy of the synchronization (asynchrony (timing error), variability (rhythm variation), accuracy) is evaluated using an observational scoring system. The scoring is as follows: 0-Unable to follow the rhythm, 1-Frequent rhythm errors, 2-Moderate compliance, 3-Significant compliance with the rhythm, 4-Complete synchronization.

Stroop Test
This is a neuropsychological test widely used for both experimental and clinical purposes. It assesses the ability to inhibit cognitive interference when the processing of one stimulus feature affects the simultaneous processing of another feature of the same stimulus. Participants must perform a less automatic task and inhibit interference from a more automatic task. This difficulty in inhibiting the more automatic process is called the Stroop effect. In addition to measuring the ability to inhibit cognitive interference, the test is also used to measure other cognitive functions such as attention, processing speed, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. The number of errors and the time taken to complete the task will be recorded.

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale 2.0
This tool attempts to determine how much difficulty an individual experiences while performing certain activities and consists of 6 areas that include activities considered important in many cultures (17). These are grouped under the headings: 1) Cognition, 2) Movement, 3) Self-care, 4) Interaction, 5) Life activities, 6) Social participation. In each item of the scale, the individual's difficulty in certain areas of functioning in the last 30 days should be scored on a 5-point Likert scale as none, some, quite, much, or extremely. In our study, a 12-item short form will be used, suitable for our population of mildly intellectually disabled individuals. In addition, a 12-item proxy form will be requested from parents or special education teachers for those who are able to complete it.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Rhythm-based body percussion training group in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Attention Impaired, run by Kutahya Health Sciences University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
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 5 inclusion and 9 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 28 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
