Abstract

Objective: Balance control and motor assessments are not a routine procedure in children with hearing impairment. This study compared static and dynamic balance of school children with and without hearing impairment. Methods: This two-group study involved 160 school children, i.e. 80 hearing impaired having stimulus intensity values of 30 dB or greater and 80 control, aged between 8 and 17 years. One leg stance test and functional reach test were used to assess static and dynamic balance, respectively. Data were summarized using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Alpha level was set at 0.05. Results: Both eyes closed and eyes opened static balances were significantly lower among hearing impaired than the normal hearing subjects. Dynamic balance was higher among the hearing impaired but was not statistically significant. There was no significant correlation between eyes closed and eyes opened static balance among the hearing impaired and the normal hearing subjects, respectively. No significant correlation was found between dynamic and static balance among the hearing impaired and normal hearing subjects, respectively. Conclusion: Children with hearing impairment perform poorly on static balance tests compared with their normal hearing subjects, while dynamic balance was comparable between both groups of subjects. Balance training program is recommended for children with hearing impairment who present movement and stability deficits.

有听力障碍和无听力障碍学龄儿童的静态和动态平衡
目的:平衡控制和运动评估不是听力障碍儿童的常规程序。本研究比较了有听力障碍和无听力障碍学龄儿童的静态和动态平衡能力。方法:本研究分为两组,共160名8 ~ 17岁的学龄期儿童,其中刺激强度在30db及以上的听障儿童80名,对照组80名。单腿站立测试和功能到达测试分别评估静态和动态平衡。使用描述性和推断性统计对数据进行总结。α水平设为0.05。结果:听障者睁眼和闭眼静态平衡均明显低于正常听障者。听力受损者的动态平衡水平较高,但无统计学意义。听力受损者和听力正常者的闭眼和睁眼静态平衡无显著相关。听力受损者与正常听力者动态平衡与静态平衡无显著相关。结论:听力障碍儿童在静态平衡测试中的表现较差,而动态平衡在两组之间具有可比性。平衡训练方案推荐给有运动和稳定性缺陷的听障儿童。
