Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the neuromuscular control of adolescents with late unilateral cochlear implantation and compare them to adolescents with hearing aids (HAs) while performing a balance task on a platform with the conditions of an activated hearing device (cochlear implant (CI)/HAs) with eyes opened/closed (EO/EC). Methods: Forty-eight adolescents with hearing loss participated in the study and were divided into SG (unilateral CI and HA) and CG (bilateral HA). The evaluation of the postural stability was performed with a force plate during two repeating testing trials with EO/EC. Results: SG was characterized by greater values of vCOP compared to CG (EO), while, in CG, greater values of vCOP were noted in the second trial. The type of hearing device was found to be related to the values of area (EO) (p < 0.001), which were always greater in SG, regardless of the visual perception. Conclusions: Late unilateral CI may impact the activation of different models of the auditory compensatory mechanism than HA, which is related to neuromuscular control. The values of vCOP can be predicted by age in late-CI individuals. Visual perception seems not to be related to the values of the area, which can be impacted both by CI and HA.

晚期人工耳蜗植入和助听器青少年的姿势稳定性：非随机试验

研究背景本研究的目的是评估晚期单侧人工耳蜗植入青少年的神经肌肉控制能力，并将他们与佩戴助听器（HAs）的青少年在睁眼/闭眼（EO/EC）条件下在平台上执行平衡任务时的神经肌肉控制能力进行比较。研究方法48名患有听力损失的青少年参加了研究，并被分为SG（单侧CI和HA）和CG（双侧HA）。在EO/EC的两次重复测试中，使用测力板对姿势稳定性进行评估。结果显示与 CG（EO）相比，SG 的 vCOP 值更大，而 CG 的 vCOP 值在第二次试验中更大。研究发现，听力设备的类型与区域值（EO）有关（p < 0.001），无论视觉感知如何，SG 的区域值总是更大。结论晚期单侧 CI 可能会影响听觉补偿机制中不同模式的激活，而 HA 则与神经肌肉控制有关。晚期 CI 患者的 vCOP 值可通过年龄预测。视觉感知似乎与该区域的值无关，CI 和 HA 都会对其产生影响。
