Abstract
|
|
|
This study was carried out to compare the relation between vestibular function and
balance skills in normal with hearing-impaired children. The subjects were 20 normal
children (8-10 years) and 20 hearing-impaired children 98-10 years). The SCPNT was
used to assess vestibular function, then, functional reach test and backward walking test
were used to compare dynamic balance skills of normal and bearing-impaired children
according to existence of visual input.
The results were as follows :
1. In SCPNT, normal and hearing-impaired children showed statistical significance in all
left-sided and right-sided rotations(p<.01), and the vestibular function responses of
hearing-impaired children were normal 20%, abnormal 45%, absent 35%
2. To compare dynamic balance skills between normal and hearing-impaired according to
eye open and eye close, functional reach test did not show statistical significance in eye
open situation(p>.05), but showed statistical significance in eye close situation(p<.05).
3. Backward walking test showed statistical significance in eye open and eye
situation(p<.01)
