The Pediatric Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (P-CTSIB) reflects how children combine and use different sensory information to react to different conditions in the static balance. This study aimed to examine balance control in normal 4-6 years old children in Tehran, Iran using P-CTSIB.<br> <strong>Methods:</strong> This was a descriptive-analytical study conducted on 121, 4-6 years old preschools children in Tehran. The P-CTSIB includes 12 conditions that are a combination of visual conditions (eyes open, eyes closed wearing visual-conflict dome), support surface (stand on firm surface or foam), and feet positions (feet-together and heel-toe). Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and repeated measures and post-hoc tests were used for age and gender comparisons.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results:</strong> Average standing time, anterior-posterior sway, and lateral sway in the P-CTSIB conditions were evaluated in different age groups. Different age groups had significantly different scores on the three items of the test (P<0.05), but there was no significant gender difference (P>0.05).<br> <strong>Discussion:</strong> Given that all children had a better performance on the feet together position in P-CTSIB, this position can be used to assess balance performance in all 4-6 years old children. <div id="__if72ru4sdfsdfruh7fewui_once"></div> <div id="__zsc_once"></div> <div id="__if72ru4sdfsdfruh7fewui_once" style="display:none;"></div> <div id="__zsc_once"></div></div> Postural balance, Children,Balance test, Pediatric Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (PCTSIB) 271 288 http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-677-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Nushin Sayadi nushinsayadi@yahoo.com No Department of Audiology, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
