The purpose of this research was comparing the effectiveness of drug therapy,
motion-perceptual exercises and their combination on attentive function in
children between 6 to 12 years old with attention- hyperactivity disorder. In this
Semi-empirical study, three groups were selected including 12 girls and boys (6-
12 years old) with attention/hyperactivity disorde. To collect data Conners
Parents Rating Scale, CBCL, Continious performance test, and Bruninks –
Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency were used. The selected motion program
included motion-perceptual exercises and was implemented over 18 sessions
within 6 weeks and the selected metions, Ritalinica & Respridoon, were
prescribed. With 95% confidence level, there was significant difference in
components of Continues Performance test (attention deficit, impulsivity and
reaction time) before and after implementing motion-perceptual exercises. Data
analysis using ANOVA to evaluate the effectiveness of each method and subjects
ANOVA to test the difference between mean scores of subjects in the Subcomponents
continuous performance test for comparison of various methods was
used in treatment. There were no significant differences in all components of CPT
test in cdifferent methods and. The results showed no significant differences with
95% confidence level between effectiveness of drug therapy groups, motionperceptual
exercises and combination method and it was confirmed that the
effectiveness of methods (attention deficit, impulsivity and reaction time) is similar
to the other.
