Background: Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of permanent hearing impairment and results in postural control and motor deficits in children that may affect or delay all developmental indicators.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of balance exercises intervention on postural control-related impairment in children with sensorineural hearing loss.
Methods: Forty students of both genders, ages ranging from 10 to 16 years, diagnosed with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, were selected from the Public School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in El-Minia district, Minia governorate, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- Childhood hearing impairment negatively impacts motor development, particularly fine motor skills, possibly due to balance and visual-motor coordination issues.
- A study with 180 children aged 8-18 with sensorineural hearing loss assessed the impact of various exercise regimens on fine motor skills, dividing participants into three groups: a control group, a fine motor exercises group, and a combined fine motor and balance exercises group.
- Results indicated significant improvements in fine motor skills in both exercise groups compared to the control group, but no significant difference between the two exercise groups themselves, suggesting that either exercise regimen can enhance fine motor performance.
Background: Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of permanent hearing impairment and results in balance and motor deficits in children which may affect and/or delay all developmental indicators.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of sensorineural hearing loss regarding fine motor skills in children and adolescents.
Methods: Two hundred children with an age range between 7 to 18 years and diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss were selected from the Public School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in El-Minia district, Minia governorate, Egypt.
