title: Influence of age, sex, hearing loss and balance on development of catching by deaf children.
abstract: 132 deaf boys and girls were evaluated on development for catching and static and dynamic balance proficiency. Additional information was obtained relative to age and hearing loss in decibels. Mature form in catching was related to chronological age and proficiency of balance. Sex and hearing loss do not appear to affect level of development as measured for catching.
