School readiness is the ability to perform coordinated motor tasks that are used in the activities of daily living in the context of starting compulsory education. It covers areas such as physical, sensorimotor, cognitive, emotional, and social development.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of balance in children preparing to start school based on selected clinical observation tests of sensory integration.
The evaluation were conducted on 6-year-old children in 2019. The study included 75 girls and boys. Schilder test, dynamic balance, static balance, and gravitational insecurity tests were used to assess balance. Basic descriptive statistics were used to analyze the collected material.
In tests of walking foot by foot on a marked line (dynamic balance) low levels of dynamic balance were recorded in most 6-year-old participants. Medium to low levels of static balance (standing on one leg with eyes open and closed) were recorded in that group. In the gravitational insecurity test, more than 90% of the respondents showed good and average scores. It was found that girls scored significantly better on balance tests. In the Schilder test, correct postural responses were found in only 32% of the participants. There was a significant positive correlation of the results of the dynamic balance test with the static balance test, and the Schilder test assessing postural mechanism with the static balance test.
The results of the study indicate the need for targeted measures to develop the postural balance of preschool children and compensatory measures to improve postural mechanism control.
入学准备是指在开始接受义务教育的背景下,能够完成日常生活活动中协调运动任务的能力。它涵盖了身体、感觉运动、认知、情感和社会发展等领域。
本研究旨在通过感觉统合的临床观察测试评估准备开始上学的儿童的平衡水平。
2019 年对 6 岁的儿童进行了评估。研究包括 75 名女孩和男孩。使用 Schilder 测试、动态平衡、静态平衡和重力不安全感测试来评估平衡。使用基本描述性统计来分析收集到的材料。
在沿标记线单脚行走的测试(动态平衡)中,大多数 6 岁参与者的动态平衡水平较低。该组记录的静态平衡(睁眼和闭眼单腿站立)水平为中低水平。在重力不安全感测试中,超过 90%的受访者得分良好和平均。发现女孩在平衡测试中得分明显更好。在 Schilder 测试中,只有 32%的参与者表现出正确的姿势反应。动态平衡测试的结果与静态平衡测试以及评估姿势机制的 Schilder 测试与静态平衡测试之间存在显著的正相关。
研究结果表明,需要采取有针对性的措施来发展学龄前儿童的姿势平衡,并采取补偿措施来改善姿势机制控制。
