Objectives: The purpose of this
study was to assess motor performance, functional status and quality of life in
children with dyslexia by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Turkish version (DSM-IV-TR), and compare the outcome with typically developing
children.
Methods: This study includes 28 dyslexic and 28 typically
developing children at the age of 7 to 12 years. Motor abilities and
proficiencies were evaluated with the short form of the
second version of the Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP
2-SF). The Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) was used to
measure functional status. Quality of life in the children evaluated with the
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
Results: There was a
significant difference found between the results of the two groups on motor
abilities, functional status and quality of life (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: We think
that, according to the obtained results, it is important to assess in detail
and plan rehabilitation programs such as education at daily living activities
in order to increase the quality of life in dyslexic children who were
diagnosed in terms of motor performance.
