About this trial
this study will investigate the consequences of sensorineural hearing loss on manual dexterity and coordination skills in Children.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Both genders with a clinical diagnosis of severe to profound SNHL only. Their ages were between ten to sixteen years, able to understand simple instructions by sign language, able to use both upper and lower limbs, walk and practice daily living activities independently.
Disqualifiers
Children with cochlear implantation, any cognitive, physical, visual, or neurological conditions (other than SNHI and vestibular impairment), history of previous upper, lower limbs, trunk deformity or surgery. All of these cases were confirmed by medical records and examined by a Physical therapist, Pediatrician, and Audiologist

Treatments tested in this trial
manual dexterity and coordination skills
Other interventionThe outcomes were assessed by the use of Bruininks-Oseretsky Test scale of motor proficiency (BOT-2) subtests (3,4\&7) for Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination and Upper Limb Coordination respectively. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Examination of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition, evaluates motor performance in various areas such as Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination and Upper Limb Coordination. It utilizes subtests and complex structures to diagnose developmental and coordination issues among individuals aged four to twenty-one years old. The test is norm-referenced and purpose-oriented to assess motor abilities. The reliability and validity of the test were 0.78 and 0.84, respectively (Kosari et al., 2013; Ebrahimi et al., 2017; Yassin et al., 2020).
