Summary

Developmental delay occurs when a child does not achieve developmental milestones in comparison to peers of the same age range. Children and adolescents with developmental delay often experience participation restrictions. Visual motor integration (VMI) is the ability of the child's hands and eyes to work together to guide their movements. Visual motor integration is a broad term encompasses cognitive as well as manual domains. This study will focused on the Manual Dexterity and intra-limb coordination (VMI). And it will evaluate the effects of adaptive physical activity on Visual Motor Integration. Adaptive physical activities (APAs) are exercises and games that have been specially designed to fulfil the unique needs and skills of special needs or developmental delays.

Detailed description

Randomized control trial will be conducted with sample size 30, used to compare the effectiveness of adaptive physical activity on visual motor integration in children with developmental delay. subjects with developmental delay meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using non-probability convenient sampling. pre and post assessment will be done by Box and Block Test, Box and Ball Test, Discrete horizontal finger tapping test, Discrete vertical finger tapping with ball and continuous Vertical tapping with ball. subjects in group A will receive Baseline therapy and conventional therapy and group B will receive baseline therapy and adaptive physical activity.

Conditions

• Development Delay

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	baseline therapy and conventional therapy	These activities included were warm-up activities, general playtime, basic gross motor activities, and free play with toys three times a week for 45 minutes for a period of 12 weeks.
OTHER	baseline treatment and adaptive physical activity	The experimental group's intervention plan had the following 12 elements . Each of which was completed for 10 minutes with two-minute breaks. Warm-up activities, puzzles and manipulatives, e.g., interlocking blocks or shape sorting toys, Balloon Badminton, Obstacle course (crawl in Tunnel ), Peg board play, Tactile sensory bin exploration filled with sand, Ball roll and catch, Tracing shapes, Play dough and clay activities, Cutting and pasting.
