Brief Summary

The vestibular system and the pulmonary system are two critical components of the human body that are involved in maintaining balance, coordination, and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide This study aim to investigate the impact of pulmonary function on the vestibular system in children. Children aged 4 to 10 years will be recruited from Future Academy School in March 2023. Pulmonary function will be measured using digital spirometry, and balance will be evaluated using the Mini-SITCIB test, which tested vision, proprioception, and the vestibular system using mobile sensors fixed near the center of gravity. Features from the sensor data will be extracted using Python 3.10 code, and the SPSS program will used to compare these features between the two groups.

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Children were recruited from Future Academy School. Children were included in the current study if their age is between 4 and 10 years old, also all children are free of asthma and other respiratory diseases. They were excluded if they had surgery or previous trauma over the chest. 62 children were recruited at the start of the current study; 5 children are older than the proposed sample while the parents of the other 5 refused to enter the study then the sample was classified according to FEV1 into 2 equal number classes (Low and high FEV1) according to median also 4 records were excluded as they are so extreme then the Mini-SITCIB test was used to measure balance in 4 conditions to test vision, proprioception and vestibular systems.

You may qualify if:

• Children will be recruited from Future Academy School. Children will be included in the current study if their age is between 4 and 10 years old, also all children are free of asthma and other respiratory diseases.

You may not qualify if:

• They were excluded if they had surgery or previous trauma over the chest.
