| Abstract: | This study examined the difference in the dynamic visual acuity test (DVAT) between collegiate athletes who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HoH) (n = 38) and university club-level athletes who are hearing (n = 38). Dynamic visual acuity was assessed using the Bertec Vision Advantage (Bertec® Corporation, Columbus, Ohio, USA). No statistically significant differences between athletes who are D/HoH and who are hearing were found in DVAT for leftward ([chi-squared] = 0.71, p = 0.40) or rightward ([chi-squared] = 0.04, p = 0.84) head yaw rotation around an earth vertical axis. Dynamic visual acuity was similar for athletes regardless of hearing status. Baseline DVAT data may be of use for post-injury management of athletes who are D/HoH. |
