Filter by:Children's motor skills and physical performance increase with age due to the development of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory systems. Sensory impairment seen in children with hearing loss can cause balance and coordination disorders, as well as decreased muscle strength and respiratory functions. Anatomically, core stabilization is provided by the diaphragm, abdominal, hip, pelvic floor, and gluteal muscles. Training for these muscles is intended to improve strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control. This training can help to improve the control of intra-abdominal pressure, intersegmental control of the spine, and muscular control of trunk movement. It also helps in strengthening the respiratory muscles, especially the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm. In this study, the effects of core stabilization training on children with hearing impairments' thoracic mobility, functional ability, and trunk muscle endurance will be examined.
This study will determine the effects of Pilates exercises on static and dynamic balance in children with hearing impairment. Children with hearing impairment often encounter challenges in their motor development, including difficulties in maintaining balance and mobility. Impaired balance and limited mobility can significantly impact their overall physical well-being and functional independence. Therefore, it becomes crucial to explore effective interventions that can address these specific needs and promote improve balance and mobility in this population. Pilates, a mind-body exercise approach, has gained recognition for its potential benefits in enhancing balance, flexibility, and core strength in various populations.
Static balance is the ability to hold the body in a specific position and posture, while dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance while moving. Vision, somatosensation, vestibular, and hearing are integrated to achieve balance Ethical committee approval will be obtained. A written consent will be taken from all subjects in the language best understood by them, after fulfilling the inclusion criteria, Patients age 10-14 years will be recruited through Randomized Clinical trial in which convenient sampling technique will be used. Group A 17 participants will receive Pilates training and group B 17 participants will receive balance Proprioception exercises. Pediatric balance scale and Lower Extremity Functional scale will be used .The result after statistical analysis will either show both treatments equally effective or not. Data will be calculated before and after treatment with the help of outcome measure tools.
Introduction: Oral health is considered as a vital component of overall health and its importance in children may not be disregarded. In children with hearing impairment, communication barriers may hamper their understanding of oral hygiene practices, making them particularly vulnerable to dental problems. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare effectiveness of skit video, pictorial and sign language interventions to improve oral hygiene status of children with hearing impairment. Methods: Sixty children were completed the study and allocated randomly into each group with twenty children as follows: group A: Skit video, group B: Pictorial, and group C: Sign language. Mean gingival and OHI scores were recorded before and after implementation of interventions. Oral hygiene habits, oral hygiene and gingival index scores were recorded by structured questionnaire.
Hearing-impaired children are at risk for a vestibular impairment, as the auditory and vestibular end organs are closely related. Although this can compromise a child's development on many levels, vestibular testing is not routinely performed in this vulnerable group. This project aims to give each congenitally hearing-impaired child in Flanders (Belgium) access to a basic vestibular screening at a young age and set an example for other regions worldwide.
Prosody is the melody and rhythm of speech, it is used to refer to the supra segmental aspects of speech including pitch, loudness and duration. Variations in these features achieve different prosodic functions and are perceived by the listener as meaningful changes. The role of prosody in language acquisition and effective communication is documented in research. Nevertheless, prosodic intervention in children with hearing impairment received less attention compared to other speech and language areas. The aim of this study is to adapt the "prosody treatment program", an evidence based rehabilitation program, and to detect the efficacy of its activities in improving the prosodic skills of Egyptian hearing impaired children. The "prosody treatment program" is an evidence-based practice targeting receptive and expressive prosodic skills in addition to speech production, intelligibility, pragmatics and phonology. The program is applied using a systematic approach of providing cues following the principles adapted from dynamic temporal and tactile cueing (DTTC) for speech motor learning to help accelerate the child's learning of the prosodic skills targeted in this program. The program was translated to Arabic and adapted to be suitable for the Egyptian children.
There is a need to manage dizziness in vestibular dysfunction patients with the vestibular rehabilitation to improve the life style of these patients. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises are beneficial for the vestibular dysfunction patients because they decrease dizziness and visual symptoms, increase walking and balance functions and with this the general activity level also increases. In my study my goal is to apply two different vestibular exercise and check their effects on dizziness in hearing impaired children's.
The goal of the proposed project is to create an Audiobooks for Hearing Loss (HL) App - an audiobook App that has a wide array of user-selectable features designed to provide auditory training. The effects of the Audiobooks for Hearing Loss App as Auditory Training for those With CI and HA Users was measured with a 6-week trial of using the app and measuring changes in listener abilities and adherence to the program.
