Importance of Proprioceptive Information for Postural Control in Children with Strabismus before and after Strabismus Surgery.

The objective of this study is to examine the role of proprioception in postural balance in children with strabismus before and after realignment of their visual axes by eye surgery. Postural recordings were made with the TechnoConcept® force platform in 23 children. Several conditions were studied, whether the subjects had both eyes open, or either the dominant or the non-dominant eye open, without and with foam pads of 4 mm underfoot.

Importance of visual inputs quality for postural stability in strabismic children.

Objective: The first goal of the present study is to analyze the postural control in strabismic children in four different visual conditions (eyes open, eyes closed and monocular viewing with squint eye and non-squint eye). Secondly, we wish to explore the effect of strabismus surgery in postural control.

Method: Postural stability was recorded with a platform (TechnoConcept) in 23 strabismic children aged from 4.
