Summary

This study aimed to evaluate postural control, balance, and fine motor skills in children followed up with a diagnosis of specific learning disabilities.

Conditions

  • Learning Disabilities

Interventions

OTHER

-Seated Postural Control Measure

-The Seated Postural Control Measure will be used to assess postural control. This measurement evaluates both postural abnormalities and determines the effect of sitting on postural control. The highest possible score on the scale is 88 points for upright sitting posture (USP) and 48 points for upper extremity functionality (UEF). A high score on the test represents good postural control.

OTHER

-Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test (two sub-items) for balance

-Balance will be assessed using two sub-items from the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Competency Test. The first test assesses standing on a balance beam with the dominant foot (eyes open), and the second test assesses standing in a "toe-heel contact" position on the balance beam. The time the child spends standing is recorded in seconds. A longer duration indicates better balance.

OTHER

-Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTEFT) and 9-Hole Peg Test to assess hand function

-The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) assesses card flipping, picking up small objects, inserting chips, and eating. In the 9-hole peg test, children are asked to place nine pegs one by one into holes on a platform and then remove them. The time elapsed is recorded in seconds. Longer times indicate poor fine motor skills.
