Abstract
Purpose: assessment of morphological-functional state of pre-school age children with cochlear implants and substantiation of need in post-operative rehabilitation in period of preparation for comprehensive school. Material: we tested weakly hearing children with cochlear implants (n=127, age - 5.6±0.6 years). They were the main group. Control group consisted of children with normal hearing (n=70, age - 5.7±0.4 years). Morphological-functional state was assessed by indicators of physical and biological condition, visual analyzer, posture parameters and foot arch, muscular system and level of coordination. We calculated index of integral morphological-functional state assessment. Results: Morphological functional state of most of children (with cochlear implants) was characterized by low physical condition indicators and disharmony. We observed delay in biological development. Index of morphological-functional state integral assessment witnesses, that such child can not study in comprehensive school. Rehabilitation program can reduce the gap between children with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants. Conclusions: Rehabilitation program facilitates quicker domestic and social rehabilitation of children at the account of widening the circle of communication, learning new actions and conceptions. It can permit for such children to study at school together with their healthy peers.
Highlights
Purpose: assessment of morphological-functional state of pre-school age children with cochlear implants and substantiation of need in post-operative rehabilitation in period of preparation for comprehensive school
Results of the research When assessing morphological-functional state (MFS) of pre-school age children with cochlear implantation (CI) and with normal hearing we found the following regularities
Among children with CI we found great percentage of persons, who lag behind in physical development by all tested indicators
Summary
Purpose: assessment of morphological-functional state of pre-school age children with cochlear implants and substantiation of need in post-operative rehabilitation in period of preparation for comprehensive school. As on the moment of operation, children’s organism is characterized by the whole complex of secondary deviations in physical condition, resulted from deafness [2, 3, and 6]: delay in physical and psycho-motor development; lagging behind healthy peers by all parameters of physical fitness. All these complicate socialization process and require rehabilitation. The purpose of the research: assessment of morphological-functional state of pre-school age children with cochlear implants and substantiation of need in post-operative rehabilitation in period of preparation for comprehensive school
