The Effect of Cochlear Implant on Postural Control

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Some patients are having balance problems after cochlear implant surgery. There are contradictory reports about the effect of the implant on postural control. While the cochlear implant is working, an electrical current is continuously stimulating the cochlear nerve which is in close proximity with vestibular ganglion and nerve. This stimulation may contribute to vestibular signals to the central system. The aim of the study is to investigate if this stimulation has any effect on postural control.

Clinical Trial Description

Adult patients who had unilateral cochlear implantation will be included. Postural stability measurements will be done by the Biodex Balance System. Three preprogrammed main tests and their 9 subtests will be applied. Postural stability, fall index, sensory integration will be calculated. All tests will be done in four conditions; implant off(1), implant on(2), implant on music on(3), and implant off again(4). ;
