“…Balance was assessed using the modified stork stand and heel-toe balance beam subtests from the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (Butterfield, 1987). Age, dynamic balance, and static balance contributed to the discriminant functions for jumping (Butterfield & Ersing, 1987a), kicking (Butterfield & Ersing, 1987b), catching (Butterfield & Ersing, 1988), throwing (Butterfield, 1989), and running (Butterfield, 1991). Gender did not contribute to function for any of the five skills.…”

The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) was used to assess the fundamental motor skills of 91 girls and 110 boys aged 4 to 18 years who attended two schools for students who are deaf. Average hearing loss, determined by better ear average, was 96.94 dB (SD = 14.40 dB). Modifications to the procedures for administering the TGMD included visual demonstrations and the use of signing to communicate instructions. The raw score means of subjects aged 4–10 years who were deaf were lower than those of the TGMD standardization sample of same-aged children who could hear at six of seven age levels on both the object-control and locomotor subscales. However, there were relatively small differences in the mean scores of the two groups. Subjects with mature movement patterns for the throw, kick, jump, and run performed better on quantitative tests for those skills than subjects with immature patterns. Typical age and gender patterns of skill acquisition were revealed for both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the fundamental motor skills examined.

“…The most definitive investigations of the fundamental motor skills of persons who are deaf were conducted by Butterfield (Butterfield, 1986(Butterfield, , 1987(Butterfield, , 1989(Butterfield, , 1991Butterfield & Ersing, 1987a, 1987b). Butterfield's sample for these studies included 75 boys and 57 girls aged 3-14 years from schools for students who are deaf.…”

“…The ability to maintain and control balance is usually recognized as a fundamental motor component (Gregory Payne & Isaacs, 1991). In children with hearing impairment, the sensory organization balance function is significantly correlated with the gross motor abhty tested by the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (Butterfield & Ersing, 1988;Butterfield, 1991). In children with spastic cerebral palsy, only independent walkers, not nonwalkers, have stepping reactions (Gunsolus, Welsh, & Houser, 1975).…”

To investigate the relations between the balance function and gross motor ability, we recruited 15 children with cerebral palsy from 5 to 12 years in age. Balance function was tested by the Smart Balance Master System and by clinical tests. The Motor Age test was used to test gross motor ability. Analysis showed that postural stability in eyes open, eyes closed, and swaying vision conditions (visual surrounding swaying with body sway), the duration of one leg standing, and the duration of maintaining a heel-to-toe position were significantly correlated with gross motor ability. Postural stability in the eyes-closed condition was the best predicting factor and could explain 64% of the variability of gross motor ability. Whether the training of postural stability in eyes-closed condition can improve the gross motor function needs further study.
