“…Mecanismo semelhante de plasticidade é observado também para células sensoriais do sistema vestibular que foram lesadas (Hara, Takeno, Shimogori, & Yamashita, 2005 (Brunt & Broadhead, 1982;Brunt et al, 1987;Savelsbergh & Netelenbos, 1992). As pesquisas também mostram que o desempenho de surdos em testes de equilíbrio melhora com a idade (Butterfield & Ersing, 1986) e com oportunidades de experiências motoras (Campos, 2003;Rine et al, 2004). (Dummer, Haubenstricker, & Stewart, 1996).…”

A influência da dança na percepção de estruturas rítmicas monotônicas em adolescentes surdos Effects of dance on perception of monotonic rhythmical stimuli in deaf adolescents E. Mauerberg-deCastro, R. Moraes ARTIGO ORIGINAL | ORIGINAL ARTICLE RESUMO Um programa de dança foi administrado para um grupo de surdos com o objetivo de melhorar a percepção de estruturas rítmicas monotônicas via estímulos visuais e estímulos auditivos. O nível do desenvolvimento psicomotor também foi analisado antes e depois da participação no programa. Vinte participantes surdos foram divididos em dois grupos, experimental (GE) e controle (GC). Antes e após a participação no programa de 26 semanas, os participantes foram avaliados em tarefas de estruturação rítmica adaptadas das clássicas provas de ritmo de M. Stambak. Ambas as tarefas incluíram a percepção de batidas em um tambor, visualizadas ou ouvidas por amplificação sonora. As respostas foram igualmente batidas no tambor. O período de prática com atividades de dança modificou o desempenho do grupo de surdos nas tarefas de estruturação rítmica. A taxa de acerto ao longo das estruturas, de complexidade crescente, melhorou, tanto quando apresentadas de forma visual, como de forma auditiva. O GC não alterou seu desempenho. Com relação ao status do desenvolvimento psicomotor do GE no pós-teste, a média ficou seis meses abaixo da idade limite das provas (11 anos). Um programa de dança pode alterar a percepção auditiva de surdos para estruturas rítmicas. A participação de surdos neste tipo de programa também resulta em mudanças no desenvolvimento psicomotor.

“…Potter and Newman Silverman (1984) examined balance skill in children with hearing impairment and no significant sex differences were found in the vestibular or balance status of the deaf children. Butterfield and Ersing (1986), also, found no relationship between gender and performance on dynamic and static balance tasks in children ages 3-14 years, with hearing impairment.…”

“…The purpose of Butterfield and Ersing (1986) study was to examine the influence of age, sex, etiology and degree of hearing loss on the static and dynamic balance performance of www.intechopen.com hearing impaired children and youth, ages 3 to 14 years. The subjects were individually assessed on Items 2 and 7 of Subtest 2 of the Short Form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency.…”

“…In studies by Butterfield and Ersing and by Siegel et al, in which hearing-impaired children (hearing loss >60 dB) aged between 3 and 14 were tested using a version of the "Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency" which was restricted to balance exercises, it was found that postural stability consistently increased with age [5,31].…”

Abstract:Objectives: Previous studies have shown that both motor exercises and vestibuloocular tests reveal a difference in the balance function of deaf and normal-hearing children and adolescents.The purpose is to evaluate the influence on balance function of the hearing status. Material and Methods:A total of 80 children and adolescents between the ages of 4 and 20 years were studied. Of these, 40 children were either deaf or severely hearing impaired. The remaining 40 were control subjects of equivalent age without hearing or balance impairment.The EquiTest ® , a device used in computerized dynamic posturography, was employed for the investigations. Mean equilibrium and latency scores from both groups were compared using t-tests for unrelated random samples. Results:The deaf children achieved significantly lower equilibrium scores and latency scores than the control group. A positive linear relationship exists between the age of the subjects and the equilibrium scores obtained. Gender, extent of hearing loss and cause of deafness have no significant effect on the balance function of the deaf children. Deaf subjects with normal caloric excitability achieved significantly higher equilibrium scores than those with vestibular deficits. Conclusions:The results support the hypothesis that damage to the cochlea, whatever its cause, may also detrimentally affect the vestibular organ. They do not, however, exclude the possibility that the poorer balance proficiency shown by deaf children may have other possible causes, such as CNS damage.The fact that equilibrium scores increase with increasing age can be seen as indicating the maturation of central nervous mechanisms involved in integrating the various sensory qualities in the sense of balance.An improvement in vestibular function through special training appears plausible, although this would necessitate diagnosis at a very early stage.
