Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed the Japanese version of the ADC (ADC-J) with international collaborative study. The questionnaire was translated according to the guidelines for cross-cultural translations of instruments. The adapted ADC-J has been administered to Japanese adults, as the pretest. Data were collected from the 360 Japanese adults. Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was calculated for total and each of the three ADC subscales, and these are enough high as the original ADC, total 0.924, Subscale A 0.813, Subscale B 0.814, and Subscale C 0.886, respectively. The Japanese version of the ADC is expected to be a useful screening instrument to identify and assess motor coordination difficulties of adults in Japan, and it enables the cross-cultural comparison. We also have conducted many clinical studies about the relationship between DCD and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
