41 名患有中耳炎 (OM) 的儿童在插入鼓膜造口管之前和之后通过移动平台姿势描记术（Equitest，NeuroCom）进行了评估，并与没有耳部疾病的儿童进行了比较（N = 50）。两组儿童的摇摆速度随着测试条件 (I-VI) 难度的增加而增加 (p < .001)，7 岁以下儿童的摇摆速度高于 7 岁或以上儿童 (p < .001)。 OM 儿童的速度高于正常儿童 (p < .05)。对于插入鼓膜造口管后不到 30 天进行测试的儿童，条件 VI 的速度显着低于插入前 (p < .05)。此外，在所有试验中因条件 V 或 VI 摔倒的 6 名儿童在插入鼓膜造口管后能够在这些试验中站立，这表明情况有所改善。这些发现表明，OM 发作可能会影响平衡，使儿童变得更加笨拙和容易发生事故，并可能损害运动发育。
Forty-one children with otitis media (OM) were evaluated by moving platform posturography (Equitest, NeuroCom) before and after insertion of tympanostomy tubes, and were compared to children with no ear disease (N = 50). Velocity of sway increased with increasing difficulty of test conditions (I-VI) for both groups of children (p < .001), and children less than 7 years of age had a higher velocity than children 7 years old or older (p < .001). Children with OM had a higher velocity than normal children (p < .05). For children tested less than 30 days after insertion of tympanostomy tubes, the velocity for condition VI was significantly lower than before insertion (p < .05). Also, that the 6 children who had fallen on all trials on condition V or VI were able to stand on these trials after insertion of tympanostomy tubes indicates an improvement. These findings indicate that episodes of OM may affect balance, leaving children more clumsy and accident-prone, and possibly impairing motor development.
