Smart Steps to Growth: Unleashing AI for Assessing Motor Skills in School Children

The purpose of this study is to develop an AI-based automated motor function assessment system (AIMAS) to improve early identification of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in school-age children. The main hypothesis for this study is: Integrating AI into motor skill assessments will enhance the reliability, validity, efficiency, and accuracy of evaluating motor performance in children aged 6 to 12.
