Comparative Study of Inclined Treadmill and Dynamic Cycling on Balace in Hearing Impaired Children.
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Hearing loss is generally identified initially in life leading to difficulties in communication. In children, vestibular dysfunctions can cause a deficit in gross motor development and balance stability. At an early age, delayed gross motor development can cause impairment in the bilateral vestibular system and sensorineural hearing. The children with balance impairment cannot usually participate in physical activities. Running, cycling, hoping and leading to social isolation3. In Pakistan, 2.49% of the population suffers from some disability; the hearing loss population is 7.4%. In Pakistan, hearing loss is more reported in males as compared to females. According to the non-official data, nearly 1.2 in every 1000 Pakistani children suffer from moderate to severe bilateral hearing loss5. In this, 15% population is suffering from profound and nearly 85% from moderate to severe hearing loss.Children who have vestibular dysfunctions may experience many disorders of the vestibular system.Acute unilateral vestibular loss (AUVL) is the most frequent vestibular dysfunction. The etiology of acute unilateral vestibular loss is unknown, but the studies say it may be due to genetic and acquired causes (inflammatory and viral infections). The symptoms include static

Interventions
DYNAMIC CYCLING
Balance Training: Exercises focused on improving coordination and balance, such as standing on one leg, walking on uneven surfaces, or using balance boards. Core Strengthening: Strengthening core muscles helps children maintain stability during dynamic movements, such as walking or running. Proprioceptive Training: Exercises that improve awareness of the body's position in space, such as obstacle courses or activities that challenge movement coordination.
INCLINED TREAD MILL
Dynamic Cycling: Refers to the fluctuating nature of movement patterns, often used in therapies like stationary biking or recumbe.nt cycling, where the intensity and resistance vary. Dynamic cycling can also refer to training that involves alternating between high and low-intensity phases or cycling between different positions (sitting, standing) or speeds during the activity
