Özel Öğrenme Güçlüğü Olan Çocuklarda Kor Kas Dayanıklılığı ile Denge Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi.

Objective: Children with specific learning difficulties (SLD) experience deficits in academic performance as well as problems in gross and fine motor skills, balance and motor coordination. Core muscles help maintain balance by providing trunk stabilization. For this reason, the aim of our study was to examine the relationship between core muscle endurance and balance in children with SLD. Methods: 15 children with SLD between the ages of 7 and 14 participated in the study. McGill trunk endurance tests were used to evaluate the endurance of the core muscles, and Romberg Test, One-Leg Standing Test, Flamingo Balance Test, Single-Leg Squatting Test, Functional Reaching Test, Timed Up and Go Test were used to evaluate balance. Results: In children with SLD, there was a negative relationship between the endurance of the muscles performing trunk flexion and the Flamingo Balance Test (r=-0.499; p<0.05) and a negative relationship between the endurance of the muscles performing left lateral trunk flexion and the Flamingo Balance Test (r=-0.495; p<0.05) was found. With the Single Leg Squat Test, there was a positive relationship with the endurance of the muscles performing the right lateral trunk flexion (r=0.586; p<0.05), and a positive relationship with the endurance of the muscles performing the left lateral trunk flexion (r=0.538; p<0.05). found. A positive relationship was found between the Timed Up and Go Test and the endurance of the trunk flexion muscles (r=0.562; p<0.05), and a positive relationship was found between the endurance of the left lateral trunk muscles (r=0.504; p<0.05). Conclusions: In children with SLD, a relationship was found between PDT, TBST, SKST performed for balance evaluation and the endurance of core muscles. As a result of our study, it was found that there is a relationship between core muscle endurance and balance parameters in children with SLD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
