Abstract

V originále

Some children aged 6-9 years with ADHD have, among other things, motoric disorders, which may make it difficult for them to solve common practical tasks associated with the learning process. Is there a statistically significant difference between the results of the entry and exit tests and the control and the experimental group in practical tasks (children with ADHD)? The study should demonstrate the importance of knowledge related to human hand morphology and especially activation of fine motoric skills through a set of practical hand pressure exercises in selected individuals with ADHD. In the experimental group of children pressure exercises related to the knowledge of hand morphology were tested and in the control group were not. When comparing the groups using paired t-tests and the student's t-test, we intend to demonstrate that simple pressure stimulation can help to improve fine motoric skills in some individuals with ADHD. The pilot research carried out showed improvement in some individuals after 90 days of targeted pressure exercises in solving a set of practical tasks. The improvement depended on the extent, form of ADHD, type of task, task time, and other factors and became the basis for further and more extensive study. The study suggests that a higher rate of targeted practical exercises or other appropriate activities may lead to improved fine and gross motoric skills in selected individuals with ADHD.
