Children With Low Vision	Other: balance coordination and strengthening training	N/A

Detailed Description

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.
