Developmental Coordination Disorder and Tic Disorders: Evidence and Practices of Telerehabilitation in Developmental Age. A Systematic Review

Developmental coordination disorder and tic disorders are groups of conditions characterized by deficits in movement development, with onset during the developmental period, identified by a limitation of motor control and coordination quality, with varying degrees of severity and pervasiveness. These motor difficulties are accompanied by impairments in adaptive behavior and emotional development, considerably impacting daily life quality. Early diagnosis, intervention, and ongoing support for individuals with developmental movement disorders are still current challenges. In recent years, telerehabilitation platforms have started to be used for children and adolescents with developmental coordination disorders and tic disorders. The effectiveness of the interventions is closely linked to the individualization of the treatment based on the subject's needs and the level of support provided by caregivers or therapists. In the case of developmental movement disorders, telerehabilitation can be used both to increase parents' awareness and knowledge and to intervene with the child/adolescent directly. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of telematic interventions for children and adolescents diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder and tic disorders.
