Children with developmental dyslexia exhibit greater postural instability, indicating a link between reading difficulties and balance issues. This research highlights potential markers for identifying dyslexia through postural assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Developmental dyslexia is a common learning disorder primarily affecting reading abilities.
  • Previous research suggests potential links between dyslexia and motor or sensory processing deficits.
  • Understanding these associations can aid in early identification and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between phonological processing and postural control in children with developmental dyslexia.
  • To determine if postural sway parameters can differentiate dyslexic children from typically developing peers.
  • To explore potential causal links between dyslexia and impaired postural stability.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study involving 50 boys with developmental dyslexia and 42 age-matched controls (10-13 years old).

  • Assessment of postural sway using a force platform, measuring centre of pressure (CP) displacements.
  • Testing conducted under conditions of eyes open and eyes closed to evaluate visual influence on balance.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in postural sway were observed between dyslexic children and controls.
    • Dyslexic boys demonstrated greater instability, characterized by increased CP displacement length and variability.
    • Higher mean power frequency of CP displacements was noted in dyslexic children, regardless of visual condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Postural parameters, specifically body sway, can effectively discriminate between children with developmental dyslexia and age-equivalent controls.
    • The findings suggest a significant association between developmental dyslexia and impaired postural control.
    • This study underscores the potential of using balance assessments as a complementary tool in the evaluation of dyslexia.
