Neurological Soft Signs in Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder characterized by symptoms of AD, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Behavioral inhibition disorder has been suggested as the main deficiency in ADHD. Non-localized neurological soft signs (NSS) such as clumsiness, right-left confusion, perceptual-motor coordination disorder, slowness in repetitive motor tests, and dysgraphia are common in children with ADHD. In this review, studies investigating NSS in children with attention ADHB in Google Scholar and PubMed databases are reviewed.
