Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Computerized posturography is crucial for assessing balance and sensory integration.
  • Establishing normative data is essential for accurate clinical interpretation, especially in pediatric populations.
  • The Horus® platform requires age-specific reference values for reliable use in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose normalization values for the Horus® computerized posturography platform.
  • To define reference values for children aged 4 to 6 years without auditory or vestibular complaints.
  • To provide a basis for the clinical assessment of balance in young children.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 216 healthy children aged 4 to 6 years.
  • Participants underwent visual screening, audiological evaluation, and computerized posturography (stability limits and seven sensory conditions).
  • Statistical analysis included non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni, Mann-Whitney U) for age and sex comparisons.

Main Results:

  • Normative values were established for stability limits and seven sensory conditions.
  • Significant differences in stability limits were observed between sexes at age 4 and between age groups (4 vs. 5, 4 vs. 6 years).
  • Age and sex-related differences were found in functional balance and sensory system assessments, including vestibular and visual dependence.

Conclusions:

  • Normative values for the Horus® posturography platform were successfully established for healthy children aged 4 to 6 years.
  • The study highlights age and sex variations in balance parameters within this age group.
  • These normative values are crucial for the accurate interpretation of posturography results in pediatric clinical practice.
