Abstract: In order to assess the real facts the investigator made an attempt to examine the effect of psychomotor training on balance and coordination of hearing impairment school students. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 Subjects from Coimbatore district. Their age ranged from 14 to 19 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Group- I (n=15) underwent psychomotor group (PSTG) and Group – II (n=15) acted as control group (CG). The psychomotor training was given to the experimental group for the periods of 8 weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except their routine work. The following variables were measured with standard test items: balance and coordination. Pre and post test was conducted on separate days with warmup. The balance assessed by stroke balance test with unit of measurements in seconds and coordination assessed by stick flip coordination test with unit of measurement in points. The data collected from the subjects were statistically analyzed using ‘t’ test to find out whether significant mean difference existed at 0.05level of confidence. This study may help trainers to assess the applicability of psychomotor training to improve balance and coordination, one of the most important factors determining the school boys. Further, the findings confirmed the psychomotor training is suitable protocol to bring out the desirable changes over balance and coordination of hearing impairment of school students.
