“…The amount of vestibular loss was also found to predict performance specifically on the following measures: DGI, SLS-EO, SLS-EC, SOT 5, SOT 6, and the SOT composite score. In children with vestibular loss, abnormal performance on measures of motor function loss has been documented by several others [Maes et al 2014b; Cushing et al 2008b; De Kegel et al 2012]. Additionally, a relationship between vestibular function testing, such as rotary chair, and motor function performance has been documented [Cushing et al 2008b;De Kegel et al 2012].…”

“…In older children specifically with CIs, significant deficits on standardized tests of motor function have also been documented [Cushing et al 2008a]. When accounting for the presence of vestibular loss there is a relationship to gross motor function delay [Cushing et al 2008b; Maes et al 2014b]. In fact, rotary chair outcomes correlate with balance abilities [Cushing et al 2008b;De Kegel et al 2012].…”

There is a high incidence of vestibular loss in children with cochlear implants (CCI). However, the relationship between vestibular loss and various outcomes is unknown in children. Objectives 1) determine if age-related changes in peripheral vestibular tests occur; 2) quantify peripheral vestibular function in children with normal hearing (CNH) and CCI; 3) determine if amount of vestibular loss predicts visual acuity and balance performance. Design Eleven CCI and 12 CNH completed the following tests of vestibular function: ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) to assess utricle and saccule function, and the video head impulse test (vHIT) to assess semicircular canal function. The relationship between amount of vestibular loss and the following balance and visual acuity outcomes was assessed: dynamic gait index, single leg stance, the sensory organization test, and tests of visual acuity, including dynamic visual acuity and the gaze stabilization test. Results 1) There were no significant age-related changes in peripheral vestibular testing with the exception of the n23 cervical VEMP latency, which was moderately correlated with age; 2) CCI had significantly higher rates of vestibular loss for each test of canal and otolith function; 3) Amount of vestibular loss predicted performance on single leg stance, the dynamic gait index, some conditions of the sensory organization test, and the dynamic visual acuity test. Age was also a contributing factor for predicting the performance of almost all outcomes. Conclusions Preliminarily, children with vestibular loss do not recover naturally to levels of their healthy peers, particularly with activities that utilize vestibular input; they have poorer visual acuity and balance function.

“…Balance develops during childhood, becoming a paramount parameter for the achievement of gross motor skills, such as running or jumping/standing on one leg [21]. Auditory inputs provide additional cues to control balance, creating a hearing “map” of surroundings that NH individuals use to maintain balance control and reduce postural sway [16,22].…”

Objectives: The aim of this work is to provide a scoping review to compile and classify the systems helping train and enhance psychomotor skills in hearing impaired (HI) children. Methods: Based on an exhaustive review on psychomotor deficits in HI children, the procedure used to carry out a scoping review was: select keywords and identify synonyms, select databases and prepare the queries using keywords, analyze the quality of the works found using the PEDro Scale, classify the works based on psychomotor competences, analyze the interactive systems (e.g., sensors), and the achieved results. Results: Thirteen works were found. These works used a variety of sensors and input devices such as cameras, contact sensors, touch screens, mouse and keyboard, tangible objects, haptic and virtual reality (VR) devices. Conclusions: From the research it was possible to contextualize the deficits and psychomotor problems of HI children that prevent their normal development. Additionally, from the analysis of different proposals of interactive systems addressed to this population, it was possible to establish the current state of the use of different technologies and how they contribute to psychomotor rehabilitation.

Association Between Vestibular Function and Motor Performance in Hearing-impaired Children

Abstract: These results indicate an association between vestibular function and motor performance in HI children, with a more distinct motor deterioration if a vestibular impairment is superimposed to the auditory dysfunction.
