Vestibular-Proprioceptive Functions in 4 Year Olds: Normative and Regression Analyses

摘要: Normative data were obtained for 156 pre-school children's performances on measures of muscle tone, co-contraction, standing balance, prone extension posture, flexion supine asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, and postrotary nystagmus. Regression analysis indicated that these combined variables accounted only 13.5 percent the variance nystagmus 145 four year olds. However, if are examined children exhibiting is lower than 1 standard deviation below mean, then account 50 Prone balance-eyes closed, tone 37 within this low-nystagmus population. These results considered in light authors' previous studies demonstrating that, learning-disabled children, vestibular-proprioceptive can be used clinically to predict which will respond sensory integration therapy with changes changes, according theory, reflect positive responses therapy.
