About this study

Children with Intellectual Disability and Dyslexia have academic and behavioral problems but also they might have physical changes related to poor motor development.

Three evaluation method was used in study. Postural Deformities were evaluated by PostureScreen Mobile App which is a mobile app allows to assess photographic body posture in four aspects (anterior, posterior, lateral) Postural Control was tested by Wii Balance Board. Wii balance board is a force plate that can measure person's center of gravity displacements Hand grip strength tested by Jamar Hand Dynamometer. It was completed according to American Hand Therapist's Association guidelines.

All data collected from participants have analysed within the control group (typical developed children)

Treatment and study plan

Body Posture Assessment

Other

Application of three evaluations above at a one time.

Other names: Postural Control Assessment, Hand Grip Strength Assessment

Primary outcomes

  1. Body Posture Assessment

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    It is a photographic body posture assessment done by mobile app. It shows deviations of certain body parts such as head, shoulder, pelvis towards to gravitational line.

  2. Postural Control Evaluation

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    It is a wii balance board which can be used as a force plate. It tests displacements of Center of Pressure and Velocity of Center of Pressure and That gives an opinion about balance.

  3. Hand Grip Strength

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    It is a basic force measurement of hand grip with dynamometer
