Abstract:
Objective: To score and compare gross motor and fine motor skills in hearing impaired and healthy children and to find co-relation between age and motor proficiency scores in both groups. Material and Method: 180 healthy children and 180 hearing impaired children were scored and compared with each other using short form battery test of Bruininks Osterestky Test of motor Proficiency. Results: There was a significant difference in scores of both groups in running speed, agility, balance, bilateral co-ordination activities, upper limb speed and dexterity and a positive correlation of scores with age in both groups. Conclusion: Hearing impaired children lack significantly in running speed, agility, balance, bilateral co-ordination activities, upper limb speed and dexterity as compared to healthy children, but both groups follow same trend of maturation
Keywords: Motor proficiency, children, healthy, hearing impaired

Hearing Impaired children lack significantly in skills like jumping up and clapping hands,walking forward heel to toe on balance beam,standing on preferred leg on balance beam,running speed and agility as compared to healthy children.
