Resumen

La investigación ha mostrado cómo los niños con problemas de coordinación motriz se apoyan más en la información visual para llevar a cabo destrezas motrices respectde sus iguales (TD). El objetivo del presente estudio fue investigar el procesamiento de la información a través de una tarea relacionada con la marcha en la que se restringe la información visual entre niños con un desarrollo motor normal y aquellos conriesgo de tener problemas evolutivos de coordinación motriz (DCDR). A treinta y dos niños (edad: 8.9 ± 0.9 años) se les pidió que caminaran por un pasillo de 10 metros a la velocidad que quisieran en 4 condiciones: vision-completa, recibiendo información 150ms y 100ms cada dos segundos, y no-visión. Los resultados mostraton que los niños TD andaban más rápido y con pasos y zancadas más largos respecto de los DCDR, sin tener en cuenta la condición visual. Además, la velocidad de la marcha y la longitude de los pasos y zancadas disminuía significativamente a medida que aumentaba el tiempo de occlusion, sin tener en cuenta el nivel de competencia motriz. La investigación sugiere que eliminar o limitar la información visual afecta de manera distinta en el patron de la marcha a niños TD y auqellos DCDR
