The study was planned to evaluate the effect of loss of hearing and vision on balance and gait in 60 children, 20 of whom had hearing loss (M age = 9.3 yr., SD = 0.9), 20 who were visually impaired (M age = 12.2 yr., SD = 2.5), and 20 controls with no disability (M age = 9.4 yr., SD = 0.6). Standing Balance subtests of the Southern California Sensory Integration Tests were used. Gait analysis was conducted on a powdered surface. When the gait analysis results of the three groups of children were compared, statistically significant differences were noted. Scores for the hearing impaired group were more like those of the control group than those of the visually impaired group. Results show that children with visual impairment had more problems with balance and gait than controls.
本研究旨在评估听力和视力丧失对 60 名儿童平衡和步态的影响，其中 20 名听力损失（平均年龄=9.3 岁，标准差=0.9），20 名视力障碍（平均年龄=12.2 岁，标准差=2.5），20 名对照组无残疾（平均年龄=9.4 岁，标准差=0.6）。使用南加州感觉综合测试的站立平衡子测试。在粉末表面上进行步态分析。当比较三组儿童的步态分析结果时，发现存在统计学上的显著差异。听力障碍组的分数更接近对照组，而不是视力障碍组。结果表明，与对照组相比，视力障碍儿童的平衡和步态问题更多。
