Discussions highlight that children with higher ADHD symptoms and poorer motor skills tend to have more sleep issues, supporting the article's findings with phrases like 'more sleep problems' and emphasizing the moderation effect, although the tone remains mostly descriptive without much debate or critique.
Agreement
Moderate agreementMost discussions acknowledge the study's findings about the link between ADHD symptoms, motor skills, and sleep problems, indicating general support.
Interest
Moderate level of interestThe focus on ADHD, motor skills, and sleep issues shows moderate interest, especially for those into developmental psychology or clinical implications.
Engagement
Neutral engagementCommenters briefly summarize key points but do not delve deeply into methodology or broader impacts, suggesting a moderate level of engagement.
Impact
Moderate level of impactThe discussion raises awareness of potential clinical considerations but stops short of emphasizing widespread or transformative impact.

Postural Control Differences in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders show similar postural instability on different surfaces, reflecting sensorimotor integration challenges and cerebellar function issues, which may serve as potential markers for these conditions.
Postural Control and Sensorimotor Integration in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD show postural instability across various conditions, indicating sensorimotor integration challenges and cerebellar involvement, which may serve as potential markers for these conditions.
Understanding Postural Instability in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, exhibit postural instability due to impaired sensorimotor integration, possibly linked to cerebellar function, highlighting potential markers for diagnosis.

Paper 51: Papadopoulos et al. (2018) (Read for our new journal club) Children who reported higher ADHD symptoms and lower motor proficiency scores reported more sleep problems. The moderation effect did not hold in a typically developing group. https://t.co/zf4MMKYFHl

Abstract Synopsis
- The study found that children with ADHD Combined Type (ADHD-CT) who have lower motor skills and more severe ADHD symptoms tend to experience more sleep problems, but this pattern was not seen in typically developing children.
- Motor proficiency acts as a moderating factor, meaning it influences the strength of the relationship between ADHD symptoms and sleep issues specifically in children with ADHD-CT.
- The results suggest that improving motor skills might help reduce sleep problems in children with ADHD-CT, highlighting the importance of considering motor development in managing ADHD-related sleep issues.
