The effects of chronic otitis media on motor performance in 5- and 6-year-old children.
Two 16-member groups of 5- and 6-year-old children, one group with a history of chronic otitis media and one without such a history, were tested on three measures of motor performance. These were the Motor Accuracy Test-Revised, the Stott Test of Motor Impairment, and measures of duration of standing balance.

DESIGN During a 1-year period, 22- to 26-month-old children fulfilling the criteria for tympanostomy tube insertion in Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland, were recruited to the ...
متن کاملCan trained nurses exclude acute otitis media with tympanometry or acoustic reflectometry in symptomatic children?
OBJECTIVE Since acute otitis media (AOM) is the most prevalent bacterial infection in young children, the reliable exclusion of AOM by nurses might save physicians' time for other duties. The study aim was to determine whether nurses without otoscopic experience can reliably use tympanometry or spectral gradient acoustic reflectometry (SG-AR) to exclude AOM. DESIGN Three nurses were trained, ...
