About#

The Motor Assessment Battery for Children, 3rd Edition (MABC-3) is a standardized tool used to evaluate motor function in children aged 3 to 16 years. It assesses three primary areas: manual dexterity, aiming and catching, and balance. The MABC-3 is used to identify motor skill deficits and to aid in the diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder and other motor-related difficulties. This tool provides valuable quantitative data on motor performance, facilitating the analysis of intervention outcomes and the study of motor development trends in various populations.
