Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to collect data in children with developmental coordination disorder DCD aged between 7 and 17 years for analyses of the gait pattern while walking at the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab GRAIL at the university hospital of Ghent

Children with DCD will be asked to take a motor test M-ABC-2 as well as walk on the treadmill during a single session of approximately 3 hours

The following data will be collected on the GRAIL while subjects walk at different gait speeds 3D kinematics kinetics and EMG

Additionally 3D kinematics kinetics and EMG data will be collected when performing either a cognitive Stroop Color and Word Test or motor requiring arm swing dual-task while walking at comfortable walking speed
Detailed Description: The aim of the study is to collect data in children with developmental coordination disorder DCD aged between 7 and 17 years for analyses of the gait pattern while walking at the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab GRAIL This is a treadmill linked to a virtual environment used to analyse and train gait at the Childrens Rehabilitation Centre of Ghent University Hospital The data from children with DCD will be compared with typically developing children In this study only children with DCD will be included and the data resulting from this study will be compared to the data from the previous study in typically developing children ID B670201942108

Children with DCD will be asked to take a motor test M-ABC-2 as well as walk on the treadmill during a single session of approximately 3 hours While walking at comfortable walking speed two short games will be played ie dual-tasking This involves both a cognitive Stroop Colour-Word Test and a motor requires the use of the arms dual task projected in the virtual environment of the GRAIL The cognitive and motor task will be performed both while standing still single tasking ST and while walking dual tasking DT Simultaneously kinetics kinematics and EMG data will be collected for 3D gait analysis Using muscle synergy analysis based on EMG data the degree of gait automatization will be analysed The data from children with DCD will be compared with typically developing children to determine whether a reduced gait automatization can be observed in children with DCD

Parents will be asked to complete a screening list CVODCD-Q for motor problems in daily life This aims as a support to the motor test M-ABC-2 together providing additional insight into childrens motor functioning in daily life
