Examining an Investigative Balance Prosthesis during Balance and Working Memory Tasks in Children and Young Adults with Cochleovestibular Dysfunction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study examines balance, working memory, and an investigative balance prosthesis (BalanCI) in children with cochleovestibular dysfunction. Many children with cochleovestibular dysfunction have poor balance. Balance requires cognitive resources and can impact cognitive load. The BalanCI provides auditory balance feedback through the user’s cochlear implants so they can adjust their posture, remaining upright. It was hypothesized that children and young adults with cochleovestibular dysfunction would perform worse than normal on balance perturbations and dual balance-cognition tasks, and performance would be improved with BalanCI use. Children and young adults with cochleovestibular dysfunction responded to balance perturbations and completed auditory and visuospatial dual balance-cognition tasks with and without the BalanCI. Participants with cochleovestibular dysfunction demonstrated poorer balance than normal, but the BalanCI improved stability on some perturbations and alleviated balance deficits associated with the auditory dual balance-cognition task. The BalanCI provides promise as a balance intervention for children with cochleovestibular dysfunction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
