Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postural sway analysis [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Root mean squared sway amplitude and sample entropy along the AP and ML axes
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Stabilogram diffusion analysis of central of pressure [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Trajectories of central of pressure will be analyzed with stabilogram diffusion analysis to reveal behavior mechanisms for practice-related variations in feedback and feedforward process for error corrections
