Effects of Maze Balance Board Training on Balance in Children With Hearing Impairment.

Hearing Impaired Children Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Maze Balance Board Training Program on Balance in Children With Hearing Impairment.

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The majority of children's everyday activities need balance, which is the complex ability to maintain, obtain, or restore the condition of balance of the body when a child is standing still, getting ready to move, or getting ready to stop moving. Integration of several sensory, motor, and biomechanical inputs is necessary for balance. Nonetheless, alterations in certain sensory systems (such as visual, somatosensory, and vestibular) may result in imbalances inside the body. Previous research has demonstrated that children and adolescents with hearing impairments are more likely to experience balance and/or motor deficits as a result of vestibular system damage, which increases their risk of developing motor and balance issues. Additionally, research has demonstrated a link between hearing loss and a higher risk of all-cause death, maybe through physical activity-related factors including balance and mobility. Combining maze control training with traditional physical therapy's proprioceptive exercises tests your balance and improves your stability overall.

A randomized controlled trial will be used for this. The study will have ethical committee approval. Following that, patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study when their informed consent has been obtained. The 36 patients will be split into two groups, and the pediatric balance scale, CTSIB, and SWOC will be used to evaluate each child's balance. The study group will receive the seven-stage maze balance board training three times per day and twice per week, while the control group will undergo a standard 10-week physical therapy program that includes 40 minutes of proprioceptive training for balance three times per week. SPSS 25 will be used to examine the data. We'll compute the mean and standard deviation. An appropriate test will be used to compare the two groups. ;
