NCT00642343

Brief Summary

The purpose is to test the balance of children with unilateral,bilateral cochlear implants and patients having unilateral implants before,bilateral implants after surgery,using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test 2nd ed. to find out if the cochlear implants have an effect.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The specific aim will be to compare the balance of children with cochlear implants to profoundly deaf children using the BOT2.

    no earlier than 2 weeks following activation of implants

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the differences in balance function between children with bilateral cochlear implants compared to children with unilateral cochlear using implants the BOT2.

    no earlier than 2 weeks after implant activation

Study Arms (4)

1

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Children with severe to profound deafness that have not received any intervention.

Behavioral: Evaluation of motor proficiency.

2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Children with an unilateral cochlear implant.

Behavioral: Evaluation of motor proficiency skills.

3

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Children with bilateral cochlear implants.

Behavioral: Evaluation of motor proficiency

4

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Children who receive their second implant during the duration of the study.

Behavioral: Evaluation of motor proficiency

Interventions
