Abstract

Over recent decades, the common understanding of hearing impairment has improved. People are more concerned with hearing impairment and have come to a consensus that care and positivity must be addressed. Therefore, recent trends in children with hearing disabilities inclusion have started in regular schools. The holistic training program provides opportunities for everyday people to learn about their abilities and special skills. The teacher needs to take care of the locomotive and object control skills of the child through the development of necessarymotor skills to meet life requirements, such as walking, running, throwing, etc. The current study explores the ability of primary school children with hearing loss to incorporate an exergame to improve fundamental motor skills within an inclusive physical education classroom in Saudi Arabia. The study used a Qualitative Method and carried out a content analysis together with a Systematic Literature Review to understand the research carried out in this field. A detailed analysis was carried out of secondary data from articles indexed in Scopus and the websites of the scientific databases and other related documents in the field of study. This study would expand the research awareness related to the success of vital engine skills in elementary school children with hearing impairment through the use of an exergame in comprehensive physical education.

Highlights

The human perception of the world is heavily dependent on the recognition and analysis of the details sensed through the five basic senses; sound, vision, scent, taste and touch
Given the apparent lack of studies, the Saudi population of hearing-impaired children becomes an ideal one for this research.In essence, this study investigated the performance of Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) among Saudi Arabia elementary school childrenwith hearing impairment using technology-oriented interventions like exergames in an inclusive physical education classroom

Summary

Introduction

The human perception of the world is heavily dependent on the recognition and analysis of the details sensed through the five basic senses; sound, vision, scent, taste and touch. Every deficiency in one or more of these senses leads to some difficulties. The meaning of the hearing, the topic of discussion in this study, is one through which the sound is experienced and perceived as sensations by the brain. Hearing facilitates human communication through languages and provides the basis for understanding social behavioural, leading to environmental development irrespective of existing daily challenges [1],[2]. The condition of being unable to detect or sense sound is called surrender or loss of the hearing. There are about 360 million people worldwide living with, at least, one form of hearing impairment with 32 million of them children [3]
