Comparative Study of Inclined Treadmill and Dynamic Cycling on Balace in Hearing Impaired Children.

Hearing loss is generally identified initially in life leading to difficulties in communication. In children, vestibular dysfunctions can cause a deficit in gross motor development and balance stability. At an early age, delayed gross motor development can cause impairment in the bilateral vestibular system and sensorineural hearing.
