An Empirical Study of the Features of Coordination Functions in Hearing-Impaired Children of Primary School Age by L.N. Molchanova, A.V. Buzovkina

“…The parameters of coordination functions were assessed using neuropsychological tests. A comparative analysis of the development of coordination functions in children from the experimental and control groups revealed a decrease in their dynamic characteristics such as pace and accuracy, which confirms the insufficiency of all these levels of movement organization in children of primary school age with sensorineural hearing loss, compared to children without hearing impairments.…”
