Overview

this study will investigate the consequences of sensorineural hearing loss on manual dexterity and coordination skills in Children.

Study Type

Enrollment

Conditions

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Interventions

manual dexterity and coordination skillsOTHER

The outcomes were assessed by the use of Bruininks-Oseretsky Test scale of motor proficiency (BOT-2) subtests (3,4\&7) for Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination and Upper Limb Coordination respectively. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Examination of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition, evaluates motor performance in various areas such as Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination and Upper Limb Coordination. It utilizes subtests and complex structures to diagnose developmental and coordination issues among individuals aged four to twenty-one years old. The test is norm-referenced and purpose-oriented to assess motor abilities. The reliability and validity of the test were 0.78 and 0.84, respectively (Kosari et al., 2013; Ebrahimi et al., 2017; Yassin et al., 2020).
