Abstract:   (4224 Views)
Researchers believe that mentally retarded children show delay or disorder in motor skills in addition to their other disabilities in this research the basic motor skills of mentally retarded children were investigated and also compared among different primary school grades. In order to select the representative sample, the city of Tehran was divided into five geographic districts of north, south, east, west and center. Then, out of the exceptional primary schools of each district, one boys' and one girls' school were chosen; and regarding the proportion of students in preschool through 4th grade to the total number of statistical population (3700 students), 370 subjects were selected. The demographic information's and results of and test of basic motor ability were recorded for all subjects individually. The obtained results are as follows: there is no significant difference between the two sexes in all basic motor skills; except for jumping and targeting, where boys outperform girls. The basic motor skills in preschool and first grade subjects are significantly poor than those of other grade such differences are not observed among the subjects from other grades. In addition, more than 60 percent of subjects scored lower than the mean in most examined skills; which is indicative of an abnormal or delayed course of motor development.
