Abstract

Background: Daily living activities such as walking, dressing and feeding require adequate proficiency in gross and fine motor skills; however inadequate proficiency leads to multiple difficulties that range from increased anxiety and poor self-esteem to significant difficulties with academic achievements. Recent research findings claimed that children’s skill proficiency tends to lag behind the established developmental norms. Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the interrelationship among different subtests of gross and fine motor skill in school aged children in Al-Madinah Al-Munawara. Methods: Children (N= 99) from 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades completed the gross and fine motor composite of the Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of motor proficiency 2nd Edition (BOT-2). Results: Analysis revealed a weak correlation between gross motor composite and fine motor composite. A weak correlation was found for gross motor subtests except a significant correlation was found for the relationship between balance and bilateral coordination. Conclusion: Therapists should closely look at upper limb speed dexterity and upper limb coordination since they are significantly correlated.
