 note = {application/pdf, The purposes of this study were twofold. First, to clarify the relationship between the pattern of sleep-waking rhythm and motor ability. Second, to verify the influence of a six-month movement education program for establishing a stable sleep-waking rhythm in 109 mentally retarded children. Among them, 32 subjects evidenced polyphasic sleep patterns. The results were as follows: (1) The sleep-waking rhythm of school-aged mentally retarded children was similar to the pattern of infant groups with polyphasic sleep; however, this pattern tended to decrease with age. (2) As for how results varied depending upon the complications of the subjects, the group of cerebral palsied children showed a significant trend toward a polyphasic sleep pattern. However, such was not the case for the group of autistic children. (3) The motor ability score of the polyphasic sleep group was significantly lower than that of the monophasic sleep group. (4) Through the movement education program, the polyphasic sleep group showed significant differences in the motor ability scores; 21.6% of the subjects improved their unstable sleep-waking rhythm. These findings indicate that the movement education program was effective for promoting motor abilities and establishing stable sleep-waking rhythms of the handicapped children.},
