To assess the static and dynamic balance performance of students with normal hearing and with sensorineural hearing loss.
A cross-sectional study assessing 96 students, 48 with normal hearing and 48 with sensorineural hearing loss of both sexes, aged 7 and 18 years. To evaluate static balance, Romberg, Romberg-Barré and Fournier tests were used; and for the dynamic balance, we applied the Unterberger test.
Hearing loss students showed more changes in static and dynamic balance as compared to normal hearing, in all tests used (p<0.001). The same difference was found when subjects were grouped by sex. For females, Romberg, Romberg-Barré, Fournier and Unterberger test p values were, respectively, p=0.004, p<0.001, p<0.001 and p=0.023; for males, the p values were p=0.009, p<0.001, p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively. The same difference was observed when students were classified by age. For 7 to 10 years old students, the p values for Romberg, Romberg-Barré and Fournier tests were, respectively, p=0.007, p<0.001 and p=0.001; for those aged 11 and 14 years, the p values for Romberg, Romberg-Barré, Fournier and Unterberger tests were p=0.002, p<0.001, p<0.001 and p=0.015, respectively; and for those aged 15 and 18 years, the p values for Romberg-Barré, Fournier and Unterberger tests were, respectively, p=0.037, p<0.001 and p=0.037.
Hearing-loss students showed more changes in static and dynamic balance comparing to normal hearing of same sex and age groups.
评估听力正常和感音神经性听力损失学生的静态和动态平衡能力。
一项横断面研究,评估了96名学生,其中48名听力正常,48名感音神经性听力损失,年龄在7至18岁之间,男女均有。为评估静态平衡,采用了罗姆伯格试验、罗姆伯格 - 巴雷试验和富尼耶试验;对于动态平衡,应用了温特贝格尔试验。
在所有使用的测试中,与听力正常的学生相比,听力损失的学生在静态和动态平衡方面表现出更多变化(p<0.001)。按性别分组时也发现了同样的差异。对于女性,罗姆伯格试验、罗姆伯格 - 巴雷试验、富尼耶试验和温特贝格尔试验的p值分别为p = 0.004、p<0.001、p<0.001和p = 0.023;对于男性,p值分别为p = 0.009、p<0.001、p<0.001和p = 0.002。按年龄分类时也观察到了同样的差异。对于7至10岁的学生,罗姆伯格试验、罗姆伯格 - 巴雷试验和富尼耶试验的p值分别为p = 0.007、p<0.001和p = 0.001;对于11至14岁的学生,罗姆伯格试验、罗姆伯格 - 巴雷试验、富尼耶试验和温特贝格尔试验的p值分别为p = 0.002、p<0.001、p<0.001和p = 0.015;对于15至18岁的学生,罗姆伯格 - 巴雷试验、富尼耶试验和温特贝格尔试验的p值分别为p = 0.037、p<0.001和p = 0.037。
与同性别和同年龄组的听力正常学生相比,听力损失的学生在静态和动态平衡方面表现出更多变化。
