Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Blind children exhibit poorer postural stability, with increased sway and altered weight distribution. This study highlights significant differences in stabilometric parameters compared to sighted children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Postural changes are documented in blind adults, but not previously in blind children.
  • Limited research exists on postural balance in children using stabilometric instruments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate stabilometric parameters in blind children.
  • To compare postural stability between blind and sighted children.

Main Methods:

  • Computerized stabilometry was used to assess 11 blind children and 11 age-matched controls (7-12 years old).
  • Measurements included center of pressure displacement, sway rate, body sway area, and foot weight distribution.
  • Statistical analysis involved the Student's t test for unpaired data.

Main Results:

  • Blind children showed increased displacement along the x-axis and a higher average sway rate.
  • A reduced percentage of weight on the left foot and an increased percentage on the right foot were observed in blind children.
  • No significant differences were found in other measured variables.

Conclusions:

  • Blind children demonstrate impaired stabilometric parameters, indicating reduced postural stability.
  • These findings underscore the impact of visual impairment on balance in pediatric populations.
