Summary

Balance and weak postural control are most common in children with severe to profound hearing deficits. Children with hearing deficits also indicate behavioral problems related to impulse control, distraction, and disability to maintain attention in the visual modality. Hearing deficit is mostly defined as a communication deficit. Although the communication deficit is an important disorder, hearing deficit co-occurs with other physical impairments such as vestibular disorders. Development and control of the posture are important prerequisites for skill motor function. Children with hearing deficits and impaired sensory organization had weak balance and motor efficiency in many fields. Various studies on motor skills in deaf children have reported deficits in balance, general dynamic coordination, visual-motor skills, ball catching ability, and some disturbances in reaction time and speed of movements. Teachers of children with hearing impairment often complain of non-coordination, clumsiness, and balance deficit in such children, preventing the child from the desired function. So the aim of the study is to determine the effects of Cawthorne Cooksey Exercises on Balance and quality of life in children with hearing deficit It will be a Randomized Controlled Trial and children fulfilling exclusion-inclusion criteria will participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups, using computer generated randomization, into control group and experimental group. After performing the pre-test measurements, the control group will perform Swiss Ball Exercises for 45 minutes and the interventional group will perform Cawthorne Cooksey Training Program Swiss Ball Exercises in addition, will also perform of 45 min session three times a week for 8 weeks of training. the study subjects will be evaluated again by Pediatrics Berg Balance Scale, Four-Step Square test and Quality of life questionnaire for children to measure the quality of life. Results will be compared with the pretest measurements. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS scale windows software version 25.
