Comparative Study of the Dynamic, Static, and Rotary Balance of Deaf and Hearing Children

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to measure the dynamic, static and rotary balance of deaf and hearing children. 20 deaf and 20 normal hearing students matched for mean age of 123 +/- 5.9 or 5.6 mo. and sex (11 boys, 9 girls) performed three tests of balance. A series of Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests and a Kendall Tau were applied to assess whether balance was affected in sensorineural deafness and to assess whether age and sex were factors in over-all balance, respectively. Significant differences were note… Show more

“…In the literature, while some studies show no signifi cant diff erences between hearing-impaired and normal-hearing groups (Gayle & Pohlman, 1990;Melo, Silva, Tassitano, Macky, & Silva, 2012;Nakajima, Kaga, Takekoshi, & Sakuraba, 2012), studies showing signifi cant diff erences are also available (Gayle & Pohlman, 1990;Kitiş et al, 2015;Tan et al, 2011;Yağcı et al, 2004). However, these diff erences are generally in favour of the normal-hearing group.…”

“…Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo, embora sejam de uma amostra pequena, revelaram diferenças significantes entre os grupos dos surdos e dos ouvintes, no que se refere ao equilíbrio está-tico, sendo que o grupo dos ouvintes apresentou um desempenho melhor que o grupo dos surdos, como ocorreu nos trabalhos feitos por vários autores 8,18,19,23 nos quais as crianças portadoras de perda auditiva neurossensorial apresentaram um déficit na capacidade de equilíbrio estático, em comparação com as crianças ouvintes. Em relação ao desempenho  inferior dos surdos no teste de Romberg, cabe ressaltar que a retirada da pista visual (olhos fechados) compromete ainda mais a manutenção do equilíbrio destes indivíduos 5,7,9 , uma vez que, provavelmente, já possuem uma defasagem vestibular.…”

“…Com relação ao equilíbrio dinâmico, os resultados também demonstraram um desempenho superior do grupo dos ouvintes, em relação ao grupo dos surdos, o que está de acordo com os achados de outros autores 8,9,23 , que encontraram diferenças entre crianças surdas e ouvintes, no que se refere ao equilíbrio dinâmico.…”

“…In addition, it appears that postural control is more highly dependent upon visual input than on somatosensory input. Gayle and Pohlman (1990) measured the dynamic, static and rotary balance of deaf and hearing children. Significant differences were noted between groups for dynamic balance and rotary balance.…”
