As Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia typically have different cerebellar sign behavior from non-Chinese-speaking counterparts, this study compared the effect of visual occlusion on the static balance between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children using the Chinese language.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
80
The participants were instructed to perform six 60-second trials (2 conditions × 3 trials) of maintaining an upright stance on a force plate (Kistler Type 9260A, Switzerland) under the eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions. The order of EO and EC was alternated for each participant, and half of the subjects began with the EO (or EC) condition. For both conditions, the participants stood with their feet 1 cm apart on a force plate and their arms relaxed comfortably at their sides.
