Evaluation Value of Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials in Rehabilitation of Children with Developmental Coordination Disorders

Objective: To investigate the effects of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) in treatment of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in children. Methods: A total of 87 high-risk children who was examined by brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) in our hospital from August 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled in the study. According to Peabody motor development scale, these patients were divided into developmental coordination disorder (DCD) group (n=54) and non-developmental coordination disorder (non-DCD) group (n=33). After 3-month comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, the latency and changes of BAEP were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: As compared with brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) in non-developmental coordination disorder (non-DCD) group, the III, V and I ~ III wave latencies in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) group were significantly prolonged (P<0.05). After comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, the latency of each wave of BAEP in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) group was significantly shortened (P<0.01), as compared with that before treatment and that in non-developmental coordination disorder (non-DCD) group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) can comprehensively, objectively and sensitively reflect the conduction function of central nervous system in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), which has important clinical application value in the evaluation of early rehabilitation effects.
