Do Room Acoustics Affect the Amplitude of Sound-Field Auditory Steady-State Responses?

The sound-field auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is a promising measure for the objective validation of hearing-aid fitting in patients who are unable to respond to behavioral testing reliably. To record the sound-field ASSR, the stimulus is reproduced through a loudspeaker placed in front of the patient. However, the reverberation and background noise of the measurement room could reduce the stimulus modulation used for eliciting the ASSR.

[Effect of an intervention based on virtual reality on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome].

Unlabelled: There are few studies on the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome (DS).

Objective: To determine the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with DS.

Patients And Method: Study with a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, which included 16 children with DS randomly assigned to an experimental group (GWBB, n = 9) and con trol group (GC, n = 7).
