“…It measures the maximal distance using a yardstick at the level of the acromion that an individual is able to reach forward from a starting standing position without losing balance or making the step. It has been reported to provide reliable measurements when used in children, both those developing typically and those with physical disabilities (Donahoe et al, 1994;Volkman, Stergiou, Stubger, Blanke, & Stoner, 2009;Wong, Leung, Poon, Leung, & Lau, 2013). FRT was measured using the same protocol as by Duncan, Weiner, Chandler and Studenski (1990).…”

This study aimed to explore fundamental motor skills and physical fitness outcomes in the group of children with visual, physical and intellectual disabilities. Alongside the average data outcomes, possible gender differences in all measures were also explored. In addition, the association between the level of movement performance and physical fitness variables was investigated. Participants were 82 elementary school age children with mild to moderate disabilities (mean age 9.6 years). To assess fundamental movement skills (FMS), children completed the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD)-2. Physical fitness was measured by the four tasks including 30 m run, sit-ups, functional reach test, sit and reach test and handgrip strength. The average TGMD-2 score for the study group in locomotor skills corresponded to 6.3 years of age (39.3 points), while in object control skills it was at 6.6-7.6 years of age (30.9-36.3 points). The average scores in the fitness tests were 30.1 cm in the functional reach test, 17.1 kg in Handgrip test, 14.0 rep in Sit up test and 6.78 sec in 30 m run. There were no significant differences in physical fitness tests results between boys and girls. The linear regression results presented that TGMD-2 skills significantly predicted 30 m run test [F(2; 161) = 8.965, p = .000]. Data analyses according to the level of movement performance and physical fitness showed significant associations between FMS outcomes and 30 m run test (p < .05). The present study extended the small body of research on the fundamental motor skills of children with different functional limitations while having potential to participate in daily physical activities.

“…Additionally, children with cochlear implants experienced balance deficits and low motor movement. Another study reported that both unilateral and bilateral hearing-impaired children had a balance problem (Wong et al, 2013). Furthermore, children with severe to profound hearing loss had balance problems during the test, which worsened when visual input was absent (Wong et al, 2013).…”

“…Another study reported that both unilateral and bilateral hearing-impaired children had a balance problem (Wong et al, 2013). Furthermore, children with severe to profound hearing loss had balance problems during the test, which worsened when visual input was absent (Wong et al, 2013). A study in Indonesia of 58 students with hearing loss reported that these children had low levels of static balance (Raharjo et al, 2020).…”

Balance is the ability to maintain body position when moving or standing still. Therefore, children must have this ability to move correctly. Children with hearing loss have problems in their vestibular system, consequently disturbing their daily activity concerning balance condition. This study aimed to evaluate the balance of students with hearing impairment in Karanganyar, Central Java. The present survey study used the Balance Test to measure 59 (male = 31, female = 28) hearing-impaired students’ balance. Descriptive statistics analysis was used to calculate the mean of all participants and every gender group. The result revealed that the average balance score of all students was 1,136, the highest score was 4, and the lowest was 1. Concerning gender, females performed slightly better than males on the balance test, with scores of 1,143 and 1,129, respectively. Of the 59 students, more than 90% of females and males were categorized as poor, and more than 3% were classified as moderate and very good. The study suggests that the balance score of hearing-impaired students was low.
