Normative Reference Values of Equilibrium Coordination Test Among Children

A cross-sectional study will be conducted recruiting children of age group 8-15 years. Pilot study has been conducted for the determination of the sample size. The calculated sample size has come out to be, n=378 which can be taken for males and females separately. Stratified random sampling will be done according to age. Child will be asked to perform all tests one by one and the time taken (in seconds) will be noted required to perform the tests. The mean of three readings will be obtained using a mobile-based stop watch.

About this study

756 children will be recruited of age group 8-15 years. Five equilibrium coordination tests i.e. Sideways walking, tandem walking, cross-stepping, heel walking and toe walking will be performed by each child and three readings will be recorded. Mean of three readings will be considered as normative reference value of each test respectively.
