About

The investigators hypothesize that children with dyslexia present proprioceptive disorders and the purpose of the present study is to better understand relationships between motor control, proprioception and academic learnings. The investigators compare a group of French students with and without dyslexia aged 10-12.

Full description

2 groups of children (dyslexics and control) will be evaluated on 2 tasks:

• Evaluation of the proprioception: Perception of the speed and Perception of the position
• Evaluation of the motor learning: Estimation of state in the framework of a motor perturbation

Enrollment: 56 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 10 to 12 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
