Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study is to compare the functional balance ability of adult individuals with and without visual impairment. Materials and Method: 74 individuals were divided into 3 groups according to visual acuity evaluated by Snellen Chart. Group 1 was individuals without visual impairment while Group 2 and Group 3 were individuals with mild and modarate visual impairment. Demogra was evaluted by manual muscle test, range of motion was assessed by goniometry and functional balance was evaluted by Berg balance test. Goups were compared statistically. Results: 39 (52.7%) female and 35 (47.2%) male totally 74 individual were included. The one way ANOVA test showed the mean Berg balance scores of Group 1 were signifcantly different (p<0.001) than Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 had higher mean balance scores than Group 2 (p:0.03) and Group 3 (p<0.001). The balance scores of Group 2 was signifcantly different than Group 3 (p: 0.002). Factors related to balance, such as range of motion, pain and strength, did not affect the variance analyses. conclusion: Functional balance was more impaired with individuals with greater visual impairment. Preparation of interdisciplinary rehabilitation programs for individuals with visual impairment is important

Abstract (Turkish)

Görme Keskinliği ile Fonksiyonel Denge Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; görme yetersizliği olan ve olmayan bireylerin fonksiyonel dengelerini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya görme keskinlikleri Snellen E eşeli ile değerlendirilen 74 birey dahil edildi. Bireyler görme keskinliği seviyesine göre görme yetersizliği olmayan (Grup 1), hafif görme yetersizliği olan (Grup 2) ve orta seviye görme yetersizliği olanlar (Grup 3) olarak üç gruba ayrıldı. Demografik bilgiler kaydedildi. Alt ekstremite normal eklem hareketi gonyometrik ölçüm ile kas gücü kas testi ile ağrı Görsel Analog Skala ile ve fonksiyonel denge Berg Denge Testi (BDT) ile değerlendirildi. Gruplar istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar: 39 (%52,7) kadın; 35 (%47,2) erkekten oluşan örneklemde Tek yönlü varyans analizine göre (ANOVA) Grup 1’in BDT sonuçları Grup 2 ve Grup 3’ten farklı idi (p<0,001). Grup 1’in ortalama BDT puanı Grup 2 (p:0,03) ve Grup 3’e göre (p<0,001) daha yüksek idi. Grup 2’nin BDT ortalama puanı Grup 3’ten farklı ve daha yüksek idi (p:0,002). Normal eklem hareketi, kas gücü ve ağrı gibi dengeyi etkileyebilecek faktörlerin varyans analizi sonuçlarını etkilemediği tespit edildi. Tartışma: Görme yetersizliği fazla olan bireylerde fonksiyonel denge puanının daha düşük olduğu tespit edildi. Görme yetersizliği olan bireylere yönelik hazırlanacak rehabilitasyon programlarının görme keskinliği derecesine göre interdisipliner bakış açısı ile planlanması bireylerin fonksiyonel dengesinin geliştirilebilmesinde önemlidir
