Summary

Children's motor skills and physical performance increase with age due to the development of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory systems. Sensory impairment seen in children with hearing loss can cause balance and coordination disorders, as well as decreased muscle strength and respiratory functions.

Anatomically, core stabilization is provided by the diaphragm, abdominal, hip, pelvic floor, and gluteal muscles. Training for these muscles is intended to improve strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control. This training can help to improve the control of intra-abdominal pressure, intersegmental control of the spine, and muscular control of trunk movement. It also helps in strengthening the respiratory muscles, especially the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm. In this study, the effects of core stabilization training on children with hearing impairments' thoracic mobility, functional ability, and trunk muscle endurance will be examined.

Conditions

  • Core Stabilization
  • Respiration
  • Functional Capacity
  • Endurance
  • Hearing Impaired Children

Interventions

OTHER

Core stabilization training

Isometric exercises of the abdominal muscles in the supine, prone, and squatting positions; isotonic exercises in the supine, prone, squatting, and side-lying positions; isotonic exercises in coordination with the extremity movements in the supine, prone, and crawling positions; and trunk rotation exercises in the sitting position will be performed. The Swiss ball will be used for dynamic exercises. It will include isometric and isotonic exercises of the abdominal muscles. Exercises will start with 3 sets of 20 repetitions, gradually increase in intensity on static and dynamic surfaces, and progress towards difficulty. Each exercise will be performed in coordination with breathing control. Breathing control will be coordinated with every exercise.
