Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how visual impairment affects the mechanical work of ankle-knee-hip joints during the sit-to-stand movement in children by comparing congenitally blind (CB) girls and sighted girls under different visual conditions.
  • Results indicated that girls with congenital blindness had higher knee mechanical work and lower hip efficiency compared to sighted peers, particularly when sighted girls performed the task with eyes closed.
  • The findings suggest that lack of visual input alters the body's strategies for balance and movement efficiency during STS, highlighting the need for tailored rehabilitation programs for children with visual impairments.

Detecting coordination pattern and coordination variability help us to find how joints organize collaboratively to perform sit-to-stand (STS) under restricted visual input. This experiment aimed to compare the coordination of the trunk, hip, knee, and ankle and its variability between individuals with long- and short-term restricted visual input during STS. Forty-five female children participated in this study, including fifteen congenitally blind (CB) children and 30 healthy children.

Background: The relationship between the visual sensory and center-of-mass characteristics during the sit-to-stand task is not well documented. Do the center of mass strategies change with restricted vision during the sit-to-stand task?

Methods: The participants in this study were fifteen girls with congenital blindness (age (94.6 (5.

The association between visual sensory and the asymmetry index of sit-to-stand ground reaction force characteristics is not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate asymmetry index of sit-to-stand ground reaction forces, their times-to-peak, vertical loading rate, impulses, and free moment in blind and sighted children. 15 female children with congenital blindness and 30 healthy girls with no visual impairments volunteered to participate in this study.

Background: The association between visual sensory and sit-to-stand ground reaction force characteristics is not clear. Impulse is the amount of force applied over a period of time. Also, free moment represents the vertical moment applied in the center of pressure (COP).

[Purpose] The purpose of this investigation was to assess whether or not restriction of visual information influences the kinematics of sit-to-stand (STS) performance in children. [Subjects and Methods] Five girls with congenital blindness (CB) and ten healthy girls with no visual impairments were randomly selected. The girls with congenital blindness were placed in one group and the ten girls with no visual impairments were divided into two groups of five, control and treatment groups.
