Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to investigate reliability in dyslexic children and compare it with healthy peers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Assessments methods are very important for the detection and treatment of such problems and there is a need for studies that can be applied for the dyslexia group. However fewer attempts have been made to demonstrate the reliability of balance impairments tools in dyslexic children. The DGI is a test that has been used a lot lately because of its minimal requirement for space and equipment, as well as its ability to be used with different patients' groups. The aim of the present study is to investigate reliability in dyslexic children and compare it with healthy peers.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Dyslexia Group

30 patients will be included. Dynamic Gait Index and other assessments will be performed twice with a 7-day interval by two evaluators

Dynamic Gait Index

Intervention Type OTHER

The Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) measures functionality and dynamic balance in walking and stair climbing. The DGI consists of 8 items including normal gait on flat ground, gait with speed changes, gait with horizontal head movements, gait with vertical head movements, gait and pivot turn, gait and step over an obstacle, gait around obstacles and steps up and downstairs. The performance on each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (severe disorder) to 3 (independent walking). The total score is 24.

Healthy Control Group

30 healthy children will be included. Dynamic Gait Index will be performed.
