Propose normalization values of the Horus® computerized posturography platform, in children aged 4 to 6 years, without auditory and/or vestibular complaints.
Cross-sectional study, 216 children aged 4 to 6 years participated. All the children underwent to visual screening, audiological evaluation and computerized posturography, which consists of research on stability limits and seven sensory conditions. The results were statistically analyzed using the tests non-parametric Kruskal-Walli, post hoc Dunn-Bonferroni for pairwise age comparisons and the Mann-Whitney U for sex analysis. Categorical data were presented in relative frequency and quantitative data in mean and standard deviation.
Standardization values were described for the stability limit and for the seven sensory conditions. There was a difference for the stability limit between sex at 4 years old(p<0.007) and, in the comparison between ages 4 and 5 (p=0.005) and 4 and 6 years old(p<0.001). In the residual functional balance, comparison between ages, there was a difference between 4 and 5, 4 and 6, 5 and 6 years, however for different data. The presence of statistical difference for different evaluation data also occurred in the analysis by sex. In the sensory systems, the findings between ages showed differences for the vestibular system, right and left optokinetic visual dependence, tunnel visual dependence and for the composite balance index.
It was possible to establish normative values for the Horus® posturography in healthy children aged 4 to 6 years.
提出 Horus®计算机平衡测试平台在 4 至 6 岁无听觉和/或前庭主诉儿童中的正常值。
横断面研究，共 216 名 4 至 6 岁儿童参与。所有儿童均行视力筛查、听力学评估和计算机平衡测试，包括稳定性极限和七种感觉条件研究。采用非参数 Kruskal-Walli 检验、年龄两两比较的事后 Dunn-Bonferroni 检验和性别分析的 Mann-Whitney U 检验对结果进行统计学分析。分类数据以相对频率表示，定量数据以均值和标准差表示。
描述了稳定性极限和七种感觉条件的标准化值。性别在 4 岁时的稳定性极限存在差异（p<0.007），4 岁与 5 岁（p=0.005）和 4 岁与 6 岁（p<0.001）之间的年龄比较也存在差异。在残余功能平衡方面，年龄之间的比较在 4 岁与 5 岁、4 岁与 6 岁之间存在差异，但数据不同。在性别分析中，不同评估数据的存在统计学差异。在感觉系统中，不同年龄之间的发现存在差异，包括前庭系统、左右视动依赖、隧道视觉依赖和综合平衡指数。
成功为 4 至 6 岁健康儿童建立了 Horus®平衡测试的正常值。
