[Does a legasthenia-syndrom exist? (author's transl)].

A Rett

    Padiatrie Und Padologie
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Legasthenia, characterized by reading and writing difficulties, may be linked to physical and psychological symptoms. A high rate of left-handedness suggests handedness and reading direction may contribute to these deficiencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Pedagogy
    • Neurology
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Legasthenia is primarily defined as reading and writing deficiencies.
    • Children with Legasthenia often exhibit associated physical and psychological symptoms.
    • These symptoms overlap with Minimal Brain Dysfunction and Hyperkinesis Syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential link between handedness and Legasthenia.
    • To explore underlying causes of reading and writing deficiencies beyond pedagogy.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical and psychological investigations of children diagnosed with Legasthenia.
    • Analysis of symptom clusters and patient handedness.

    Main Results:

    • A significant prevalence of left-handed individuals was observed among patients with Legasthenia.
    • Associated physical and psychological symptoms were identified alongside reading and writing impairments.

    Conclusions:

    • The pressure to conform to right-handed writing and left-to-right reading may be a contributing factor to Legasthenia.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the neurodevelopmental aspects of Legasthenia and handedness.
