| Popis: | Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the epidemiology of dyspraxia among preschool children in Alexandria. Methods: A case control study was designed. The sample of the study was 33 children (26 ? and 7 ? ) with dyspraxia and 33 normal children as a control. Both groups were subjected to the followings a) screening phase, b) developmental assessment and, c) clinical assessment. Results: Males are significantly affected more than emales (p = 0.037). Prematurity (p= 0.012), allergic disease (p = 0.004), and positive family history (p = 0.000) are significant factors for dyspraxia. Dyspraxic children have significantly behavior problems (p=0.008), speech disturbance (p=0.000), and lack of imaginative play (p = 000). Conclusion: Dyspraxia is more common in males than females. Behaviour problems, speech disturbance and lack of imaginative play are more common in dysproaxic. |
