Treadmill vs cycling for balance in hearing-impaired kids
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial compares using an inclined treadmill versus dynamic cycling to improve balance in children with hearing impairment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two exercises to see which helps balance more.

This study tests whether walking backward, with or without a special balance trainer tool, helps children with significant hearing loss improve their balance and how they move. Better balance could help them feel more confident and prevent falls.
This study tests if special balance exercises can help improve walking, balance, and posture control in children with mild cognitive impairment. It may help your child move more confidently and safely.
This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
This trial tests whether a high-tech treadmill (Walker View) or group therapy works better for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults. It also uses artificial intelligence to predict fall risk early.
This study looks at how hearing loss affects balance in children aged 3 to 10. It tests balance and inner ear function to help understand the connection between hearing and balance problems.
This study tests a training program to help teenagers with severe hearing loss improve their balance and daily activities. It may help if you have only hearing loss and no other health issues.
