Reading is not a trivial task and involves cognitive aspects and mechanisms in order to identify letter and words and appropriate eye movements. Several strategies have been proposed and used aiming to reduce and minimize reading and writing difficulties in dyslexic children. Recently, reading performance was observed due to a computer-based oculomotor program and motor activity intervent…
Reading is not a trivial task, which involves several cognitive aspects and mechanisms in order to identify letter and words and their meaning. An important mechanism is the appropriate eye movements. Studies have identified eye movement coordination differences in Dyslexic children and adults. Several strategies have been proposed and used aiming to reduce and minimize reading and writin…

Determining the factors that can predict falls is one of the greatest scientific challenges. Although previous studies have made efforts to identify tools to predict falls in older people with Parkinson's disease (PD), these studies have focused only on the final outcome (e.g., gait and balance performance), without understanding the factors involved in the execution of the task, such as …
Reading is not a trivial task, which involves several cognitive aspects and mechanisms in order to identify letter and words. An important mechanism is the appropriate eye movements. Several strategies have been proposed and used aiming to reduce and minimize reading and writing difficulties in dyslexic children. Recently, we have demonstrated that the use of a green overlay improved read…
Introduction: Postural changes are common impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although pharmacological treatment is the most used for rehabilitation in people with PD, impairments in postural control are unresponsive to this treatment. Therefore, complementary therapies have been targeted in rehabilitation research for people with PD. Evidence suggests that physical exercise and tran…

The purpose of this project is to examine the impact of reinforcement and error feedback on locomotion of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Adults with and without PD will walk on a instrumented treadmill, imersed in a virtual reality enrionment. Body segment displacements will be monitored and captured, real time, during the walking. After a period of adaptation, step length and w…
Dyslexic children, in addition to having difficulty in reading and writing, also have poor postural control performance. Recent studies suggest that dyslexic children show poor oculomotor performance that might affect behavioral performance. The goal of this study will investigate the effect of eye movement in different visual tasks in postural control in dyslexic children. Twenty dyslexi…
