简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate postural control, balance, and fine motor skills in children followed up with a diagnosis of specific learning disabilities.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to evaluate postural control, balance, and fine motor skills in specific learning disabilities, a common problem. While various studies have shown impairments in balance and fine motor skills in the literature, no studies were found that evaluated postural control in children with specific learning disabilities. If the results of this study reveal statistically significant impairments in posture control and balance, observing these physical impairments could partially prevent delays in diagnosing specific learning disabilities. Furthermore, adding specific exercises to the rehabilitation program for children with specific learning disabilities can significantly improve their quality of daily life. The investigators hope that the results of this study will contribute to the literature by raising awareness about specific learning disabilities, postural control, balance, and fine motor skills.

结局指标
主要结局
Seated Postural Control Measure results
时间窗: 6 months
-Seated Postural Control Measure results (this measurement described at material metod section)
Standing time on the balance board with the dominant foot (Eyes open)
时间窗: 6 months
This test is a sub-item included in the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test. This test is based on the time it takes to perform the required motor skill in the required manner. The child attempts to stand on a balance beam with their dominant foot, while keeping the other foot in a flexed position parallel to the ground. The child looks at a point 7 feet (2.14 m) away and at eye level, and tries to maintain their balance for 10 seconds. The time they can hold the balance is recorded.

Standing time in the "toe-heel contact" position on the balance board
时间窗: 6 months
This test is a sub-item included in the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test. Children are asked to stand on a balance beam for 10 seconds with their back big toe touching the heel of their front foot. The time they can hold the balance is recorded.
