The aim of this research is to examine and evaluate the effects of balance coordination and strengthening training on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision
The hypotheses of our study:
H1: Balance coordination and strengthening training has an effect on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision.
H2: Balance coordination and strengthening training has no effect on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision.
The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the effects of balance coordination and strengthening training on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision.
A total of 22 low-vision individuals were included in the study. Individuals were randomly divided into two groups as Control (n=10) and Study (n=12). The treatment group received 70 min balance (20 min), coordination (20 min) and strengthening (20 min) training 3 days a week for 8 weeks. No additional treatment was applied to the control group. Evaluations were performed before treatment and at the end of 8 weeks.
In the evaluations; Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test 2 Short Form (BOT2- KF), New York Posture Analysis, Manual November muscle strength assessment, G-Walk Gait Analysis, Independent Mobility Questionnaire (BMA) were used.
