The core muscles encompass two focal functions one is to bear additional load and protect the spine from disproportionate load and the second one is to transport force from the lower body to the upper body. Stabilizing the core at the early stage of rehabilitation helps in mobility enhancement and also aids in injury prevention. Strengthening the core for children with developmental coordination disorder allows them to perform well at the activities of daily living. Children with Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) exhibits difficulty in organizing and sequencing any task that requires motor coordination skill. . Data monitor experts expect that nearly 7-9% of children will have DCD, but without a gold standard assessment tool, it is impossible to estimate the exact prevalence percentage of children. Prevalence was calculated and it differs based on the assessment method used by the therapist/researcher. Children with DCD tend to avoid participation in sports as they have difficulty with balance and feed-forward motor control, if intended to perform any sporting activity, they use varied compensatory strategies. As because of the poor core strength, these children exhibits frequent urination and urgency in urination, postural abnormalities as well as balancing defect, they experience frequent fall when explored into a perturbation space. We propose core stability programme for children with DCD.
