Sumario:Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects school-age children and interferes with the practice of their daily activities. Task-oriented work and motor imagery have shown great efficacy in addressing this problem. Objective: This study presents a protocol that seeks to understand the effectiveness of a combined program of both modalities on the motor competence of children susceptible to the presence of DCD. Desing: Randomised controlled trial. Methods: The participants are children susceptible to the presence of DCD (from 6 to 12 years old) distributed into an intervention group that received a total of 20 protocol sessions and a control group that continued with their usual school routine.
