简要总结
This study will determine the effects of Pilates exercises on static and dynamic balance in children with hearing impairment. Children with hearing impairment often encounter challenges in their motor development, including difficulties in maintaining balance and mobility. Impaired balance and limited mobility can significantly impact their overall physical well-being and functional independence. Therefore, it becomes crucial to explore effective interventions that can address these specific needs and promote improve balance and mobility in this population. Pilates, a mind-body exercise approach, has gained recognition for its potential benefits in enhancing balance, flexibility, and core strength in various populations.
详细描述
A Randomized clinical trial will be conducted through convenient sampling. Subjects will randomly be allocated into two groups experimental group will receive balance exercises in addition to Pilate exercise while control group will receive will receive conventional therapy for strength, balance and postural stability. The duration of the treatment will be 10 weeks for 3 days a week for 45 minutes. Pediatric Balance Scale, Pediatric Reach Test (Pediatric Functional Reach Test) and Timed Up and Go Test will be used as outcome measure. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 29.0; normality of the data will be checked and tests will be applied according to the normality of the data either it will be parametric test or non-parametric based on the normality.

结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Reach Test (Pediatric Functional Reach Test):
时间窗: 10 weeks
It is used to measure standing balance in pediatric population, it is only done in standing position. The standing position will be described first and target will be set under the supervision first forward reach will be tested and after this lateral reach will be tested. Reliability of this test is within rater (0.54, 0.88 ICC) and among the rater is (0.50, 0.93ICC)
Pediatric Balance Scale
时间窗: 10 weeks
It is 14-item criterion-referenced measure that examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks in the pediatric population in 3 domains sitting, standing and changing of position. It measures steady state and anticipatory balance activities of varying difficulty that will be performed with or without visual inputs. Item score from 0-4 which may be measured by the ability to perform the assessed activity. Item scores will be summed having maximum score of 56 points that indicate perfect score. Time of administration is 20 minutes. It has excellent test retest reliability in typically developmental child that is (ICC 0.850)
Time Up and Go Test (TUG)
时间窗: 10 weeks
It provides valuable measures how quickly one can stand up, walk 10 feet, turn around, walk back and sit down. Patient sit in the chair on the command go patient rises from the chair walks 3 meters at comfortable and safe pace, turns, walk back to the chair and sits down. Timings begins with the instruction go and end when the patient is seated. Reliability of TUG test was high, with ICC of 0.99 for within-session reliability and 0.99 for test-retest reliability analyzes on CP children
