Evaluation of Postural Control in Premature Children

NCT04562909 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 72

Last updated 2021-01-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To date, it is largely unknown whether preterm children experience balance problems and whether they have normal postural control. Assuming that postural adaptation is affected after preterm delivery because it depends on attention and fine motor control, the postural control and motor development of children born preterm less than 32 weeks in the 5-7 age period will be affected compared to their healthy controls. Identifying these situations according to their healthy peers will improve the general health of premature births and enable better intervention methods to be designed.

Conditions

  • Premature Birth

Interventions

DEVICE

Neurocom balance master device

With the Modified Sensory Balance Interaction Clinical Test, the static balance will be examined by measuring the torso oscillation velocities while the eyes are open and the eyes closed on the stable rigid and unstable foam floors, and the dynamic balance will be examined with the sit-stand test, which is the basic motor activity in daily life, and the parameters will be measured on the same device.
