摘要：Tool use disorders are a substantial complaint in clinical pediatric disease, specifically for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and could reduce children participation in activities of daily living. Yet, operational strategies for assessment are unorganized and do not consistently consider the impact of impairments on daily life, due to the lack of a consensual explanatory theory in DCD. In this paper, we firstly propose to examine the nature of gestural and motor coordination disorders in children with DCD, as well as their possible role in tool use. The relevance of theoretical concepts and clinical assessment used are also examined with regard to the analysis of tool use impairment. Secondly, we outline theoretical frameworks in typical development and in adult neuropsychology, which would shed light on the understanding of these symptoms in children with DCD. Finally, we discuss the clinical perspectives for a differential and theoretical assessment of tool use in children.
