HYPERACTIVITY AND INATTENTION IN CHILDREN
IN THE ASSESSMENT OF TEACHERS AND RESULTS OF ADSCANER SYSTEM

Summary. This study attempts to examine relations between ADScaner results (hyperactivity and inattention) and symptoms of ADHD of children assessed by their teachers. It was a screening study. Teachers selected children who were hyperactive, then ADHD Questionnaire were conducted with teachers to obtain ADHD symptoms of hyperactive and control children. All children were assessed by ADScanner system. It is a device for evaluating motor activity (Doppler radar) and attention
(Continuous Performance Test). Children assessed as hyperactive by their teachers performed worse in the attention task and had higher level of motor hyperactivity than the control group. In the entire group, overall performance on the ADScanner tasks was low but significant related to ADHD domains evaluated by ADHD Questionnaire. In separated hyperactive and control groups, there were no significant correlations. Teachers assessed students rather accurately. But the objective measures of hyperactivity and inattention are useful in a screening diagnosis of ADHD. Key words: motor hyperactivity, inattention, screening, ADHD

Balance problems can severely limit the quality of life for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) already in the early stages of the disease. PwMS are usually assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which includes a Romberg test for assessing balance. As the EDSS assessments are subjective to the examining neurologist, the postural stability of pwMS could be objectively quantified by implementing static posturography to detect balance problems and address preventive medical care

Abstract: Researchers have developed a new method to predict the risk of cognitive decline based on a person's ability to balance.

Keywords: posture, steadiness, unipedal, reproducibility, computed posturography
