Dyslexia study probes hidden link between movement and reading
NCT ID NCT03364010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether children with dyslexia have trouble sensing their own body movements (proprioception). Researchers compared 56 French children aged 10-12, half with dyslexia and half without, by testing how well they could detect motion and position. The goal was to better understand how motor control and reading skills might be connected.
