Investigation of the Effect of Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) Exercises on Proprioception, Functional Movement Screening (FMS), Muscle Strength, and Endurance in Individuals with Hearing Impairment

Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) exercises on proprioception, functional movement screening (FMS), muscle strength, and endurance in individuals with hearing impairments.
Design
A clinical trial with the control group, with parallel groups, randomized
Settings and conduct
A total of twenty-two male students from Bagcheban School, each with a hearing threshold of 70 decibels, will be randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group. Before each exercise, the examiner defines and shows the correct alignment and ideal performance to the participants. All measurements will be conducted in the gymnasium of Bagcheban School.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Male students between the ages of 10 and 15, with a hearing loss greater than 70 decibels and no prior engagement in regular physical activity, will be included in the study. Exclusion criteria include a history of orthopedic conditions, any seizures within the past two years, and the use of medications that may influence physical performance during exercise or testing
Intervention groups
The intervention group will participate in dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training for 4 weeks, with three 50-minute sessions per week, while the control group will receive no intervention.
Main outcome variables
Proprioception, functional movement screening, muscular strength and endurance.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The simple randomization method, using sealed envelopes, is employed to assign participants to different groups. Each intervention type is written on a card and placed in a sealed envelope. Participants are listed in the order of their enrollment in the study. After each participant is enrolled, the envelopes are shuffled randomly, and each participant is asked to select one envelope at random. The number of envelopes is determined based on the expected sample size, ensuring that each selected envelope is not re-entered into the randomization process. This method ensures that the number of participants in each experimental group is approximately equal, thereby reducing the risk of discrepancies in group sizes.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention Group: Participants in this group will engage in a dynamic neuromuscular stability training program over four weeks, with three sessions each week. The program will include exercises performed in various positions: prone, supine, side-lying, side sitting, quadruped, bear crawl, and squats. These exercises are designed to retrain childhood movement patterns, grounded in the principles of developmental kinesiology. Each session will consist of 10 minutes of warm-up, 35 minutes of core exercises (starting with 10 repetitions, which will increase to 12 repetitions with new movements in subsequent sessions), and 5 minutes of cool-down. Throughout the four-week intervention, participants will complete a total of 12 sessions.
