Konjenital işitme kayıplı çocuklarda bilgisayarlı dinamik postürografi ile dengenin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, konjenital sensörinöral işitme kayıplı çocuklarda Bilgisayarlı Dinamik Postürografi (BDP) ile postüral dengeyi değerlendirmek amaçlandı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya, konjenital sensorinöral işitme kayıplı (Grup 1) 30 ve normal işiten (Grup 2) 20 çocuk dahil edildi. Çalışmada, BDP kullanılarak Duyu Organizasyon Test sonuçları; Birleşik Denge Puanı, Duyu Analizi ve Strateji Analiz sonuçları değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Yapılan BDP sonucuna göre, Grup 1 ve Grup 2’deki çocukların birleşik denge puanları, vestibüler oran, vizüel oran ve görsel üstünlük oranları arasında anlamlı fark tespit edildi (p
