Abstract
Within the multiprofessional diagnostic in the psychiatric treatment for children an age-group of in-patients was examined using the coordination test for children (KTK) with regard to physical ability. The ascertained results and classifications of the motor skills were related to ICD 10 diagnosis on level 1 (clinical psychiatric syndrom) and level 2 (circumscribed disturbance of the development) as well as to issues of the anamnese- and report-documentation in order to ascertain correlations between child psychiatry disorder and motor development. More than 40 % of the children examined showed motor deficiency. Moreover, it was evident that girls attained significantly lower KTK-results than boys. The statistical results did not show any distinct effects to "diagnosis" and "age". The high quota of obviously impaired and disturbed children reflects the general decline of motor skills and does not seem to be attributed to the demand for psychiatric treatment for children and youth.
