Abstract
Mental disability in people interrupts the development of their minds, which affects postural control and balance. physical activities and mobility in these people are much less than healthy people, so any action that leads to the participation of these children in various activities and mobility can be considered as a factor to reduce possible future risks. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of coherent neuromuscular exercises on postural control of educable intellectual disability.
Method: This research is a semi experimental study with pretest, post-test and control group design. The statistic population consisted of male students with intellectual disability in Khazaeli school in Rasht that 30 students with intellectual disability were selected targeted and available according to the inclusion criteria, Then, they were randomly divided into two groups of 15 experimental and 15 control groups. The experimental group performed neuromuscular exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week and 45 minutes per session. During this time, the control group didnt experience any exercise. BESS test was used in pre-test and post-test to assess postural control. Statistical analysis of this study was done by SPSS25 at the significance level (p≥0/05) using dependent t-test and covariance analysis
Results: The results of the present study showed that 8 weeks of neuromuscular trainning have a significant effect on postural control of educable intellectualy disability children (P<0/05) However, there was no significant difference in the control group in post-test. Also, the results of the Kuwariance test showed that there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups(05/0<P).
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that eight weeks of neuromuscular trainning can improve balance in postural control in intellectualy disability children.
