Abstract
Comparison of the effect of vestibular stimulation exercises and exercises on unstable surface on the walking speed of visually impaired people
Visual impairments affect all aspects of a child's movement, and movement, as the most important tool for physical education, is an important factor for improving the health of disabled children. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to compare the effect of vestibular stimulation exercises and exercises on an unstable surface on the walking speed of visually impaired people.
In the present study, 24 male and female students from among the visually impaired people of Rasht's Khazaeli School were randomly divided into two groups: vestibular stimulation and unstable level exercise. After selecting the students and obtaining their consent, the walking speed test with a distance of 8 meters was measured as a pre-intervention. The vestibular stimulation group performed exercises for eight weeks and three sessions each week for 50 minutes, and the unstable level exercise group performed eight weeks and three sessions each week for 60 minutes. in the descriptive statistics of the t-test independent of the Shaypro-Wilk test to detect the normality or non-normality of the data; And to check the homogeneity of variances, Lon's test is also used.
The results showed that after 8 weeks of training, there was a significant improvement in the walking speed scores between the average value of the variable in the pre-test and post-test (p=0.001). It can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the effect of vestibular stimulation exercises and exercises on an unstable surface on the walking speed of visually impaired people (p < 0.05). The importance of mobility, especially in children with visual disabilities, is recommended from stimulation exercises. Vestibular and unstable level exercise should be used as an effective method for more physical mobility of these people.
According to the results of the present research and taking into account the importance of mobility, especially in children with visual disabilities, it is recommended to use vestibular stimulation exercises and exercises on an unstable level as an effective method for more physical mobility of these people.
