Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Balance depends on the integration of information received from proprioceptive, vestibular and visual sensory systems. It has been observed that visually impaired individuals have problems in postural stability and balance due to insufficient information from the visual system. In this study, it was aimed to compare the balance, coordination and gait parameters of congenitally visually impaired individuals and healthy sedentary individuals.
