dc.description.abstract | Impaired postural control has been associated with poor reading skills, as well as with lower performance on measures of
attention and motor control variables that frequently co-occur with reading difficulties. Measures of balance and motor
control have been incorporated into several screening batteries for developmental dyslexia, but it is unclear whether the
relationship between such skills and reading manifests as a behavioural continuum across the range of abilities or is
restricted to groups of individuals with specific disorder phenotypes. Here were obtained measures of postural control
alongside measures of reading, attention and general cognitive skills in a large sample of young adults (n = 100). Postural
control was assessed using centre of pressure (CoP) measurements, obtained over 5 different task conditions. Our results
indicate an absence of strong statistical relationships between balance measures with either reading, cognitive or attention
measures across the sample as a whole. | nb_NO |
