Vestibular Function in Children with Nonparalytic Strabismus

Vestibular Function in Children with Nonparalytic Strabismus The purpose of this study was to compare vestibular functioning of children with comitant strabismus to normative data on this area of neural processing, and to determine whether or not there is a relationship between vestibular function and developmental delay in children with comitant strabismus. Results of the study revealed that all of the children with comitant strabismus demonstrated prolonged nystagmus when compared to normal children and that 64% of the strabismic children demonstrated developmental delay. Furthermore, the two areas of development in which strabismic children showed the most delay were fine motor adaptive and gross motor. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Occupational Therapy Journal of Research SAGE

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare vestibular functioning of children with comitant strabismus to normative data on this area of neural processing, and to determine whether or not there is a relationship between vestibular function and developmental delay in children with comitant strabismus. Results of the study revealed that all of the children with comitant strabismus demonstrated prolonged nystagmus when compared to normal children and that 64% of the strabismic children demonstrated developmental delay. Furthermore, the two areas of development in which strabismic children showed the most delay were fine motor adaptive and gross motor. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
