Insights
Impaired binocular vision in children significantly impacts fine motor skills development. This review synthesizes evidence linking visual acuity changes to motor skill deficits.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric ophthalmology
- Developmental neuroscience
- Motor control
Background:
- Binocular vision is crucial for children's development.
- Visual acuity deficits can negatively affect fine motor skills.
- Binocular vision disorders like amblyopia and strabismus are common in pediatric care.
Approach:
- Conducted a scoping review of existing literature.
- Followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines for systematic reviews.
- Included 16 relevant research papers.
Key Points:
- Strabismus was a primary focus in relation to motor skills.
- Studies utilized motor test batteries, questionnaires, and laboratory tests.
- Evidence synthesized demonstrates a link between binocular vision and motor skills.
Conclusions:
- Vision is a critical perceptual modality for child development.
- Impaired binocular vision demonstrably affects fine motor skill acquisition.
- Findings underscore the importance of addressing visual impairments in pediatric care.
Purpose:
To investigate, map, and synthesize evidence regarding the correlation between changes in binocular vision and fine motor skills among children.
Methods:
We conducted a scoping review of existing evidence, following the guidelines and checklist outlined in "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses - Scoping Reviews" (PRISMAScR).
Results:
Sixteen papers were systematically included in our scoping review. A predominant focus was placed on assessing the impact of strabismus on motor skills. Most of the studies used motor test batteries for comprehensive analysis, while the remaining employed methodologies, such as questionnaires or laboratory-based tests.
Conclusion:
Vision stands as a pivotal perceptual modality essential for the optimal development of children. Alterations in visual acuity can significantly affect fine motor skills. Pediatric ophthalmology and orthoptics frequently encounter binocular vision disorders, such as amblyopia and strabismus. Our finding showed that impaired binocular vision affects fine motor skills.
