Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that children with dyslexia present proprioceptive disorders and the purpose of the present study is to better understand relationships between motor control, proprioception and academic learnings. The investigators compare a group of French students with and without dyslexia aged 10-12.
Detailed Description
2 groups of children (dyslexics and control) will be evaluated on 2 tasks: * Evaluation of the proprioception: Perception of the speed and Perception of the position * Evaluation of the motor learning: Estimation of state in the framework of a motor perturbation

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluation of proprioception through velocity perception
Time Frame: 1day
The ability to perceive motion at 3 different velocities for 3 different joints is assessed using a motorized ergometer. A passive movement is performed by the ergometer and children are tasked to press a button as soon as they feel the movement. We calculate the angle of detection for each speed and compare it between Dyslexic and healthy children.
Secondary Outcomes
- Evaluation of proprioception through position perception(1 day)
- Motor learning(1 day)
- Text reading(1day)
- Phonological awareness: phonemic blending and phonemic elision(1day)
- Identifying words(1day)
