An interventional study of vibrating floor and No vibrating floor in Deaf Children, sponsored by Université Catholique de Louvain. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 14 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-13.
Sponsored by Université Catholique de Louvain · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
In view of the difficulties observed in the oral language development of deaf children, it is essential to offer them appropriate and effective care as early as possible. One of the modalities frequently used clinically to stimulate this perception of language in the deaf child is to use the tactile sense via vibrations. One such tactile tool used by speech therapists is the vibrating floor, which enables the child to feel sounds through the vibrations perceived by his or her body. Although used in many institutions, there is very little scientific evidence to date of the effectiveness of using the vibrating floor with deaf children.
