Motor disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Abstract
Motor and perceptual output problems were associated with hyperactivity before ADHD was described in North America. Many European pediatricians continue to consider these deficits along with inattention and hyperactivity to be part of one disorder. Motor deficits are an associated neurodevelopmental deficit in a substantial number of ADHD patients. In order for the patients' need to be addressed, pediatricians must be able to recognize motor coordination deficits and make appropriate recommendations to the patients' caregivers.

Children with ADHD also differ from controls on a broad range of non-EF functions such as motor coordination, perception, language, visuomotor integration, and learning and memory.
“children with ADHD also differ from controls on a broad range of non-EF functions such as motor coordination (Blondis, 1999; Carte, Nigg, & Hinshaw, 1996; Kadesjo, Kadesjo, Hagglof, & Gillberg, 2001; Sheppard, Bradshaw, Georgiou, Bradshaw, & Lee, 2000; Steger et al., 2001), perception (Garcia-Sanchez, Estevez-Gonzalez, Suarez-Romero, & Junque, 1997; Mangeot et al., 2001), language (Beitchman, Tuck”

“First, ADHD children show deficits across many domains of neuropsychological functioning including memory (Felton, Wood, Brown, Campbell, & Harter, 1987), motor (Blondis, 1999; Steger et al., 2001), language (Purvis & Tannock, 1997; Tirosh & Cohen, 1998), and visuomotor precision (Raggio, 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
