Az gören ve sağlıklı çocuklarda görsel algı ve motor becerilerin incelenmesi

Year 2020, Volume: 3 Issue: 6, 51 - 59, 25.12.2020

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Low vision and other visual problems have negative effects on motor development and the learning of complex motor skills.The primary aim of this study was to compare visual perception and motor skills in children with low vision and healthy children and the second was to investigate the relationship of visual perception on motor skills in children with low vision. METHODS: The study included 30 children with low vision (mean age 11.43±2.82 years) and 38 healthy children(mean age 10.71±2.26 years). The visual perception of the children was assessed using the Motor Free Visual Perception Test-3(MVPT-3) and motor performance was assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Profiency Assessment Inventory-2 Short Form(BOT-2 SF). RESULTS: The healthy group were determined to have significantly higher total scores of visual perception and motor skills compared to the children with low vision (p <0.001). In the group of children with low vision, the MVPT-3 total score, BOT-2 SF subtests and total scores were positively correlated with fine motor control (r=0.508, p=0.04), manual coordination(r=0.429, p=0.18), body coordination(r=0.624, p=0.000), strength and agility(r=0.389, p=0.33), and in total(r=0.619, p=0.000), respectively. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Visual perception and motor performance of children with low vision are lower than their healthy peers. The remaining visual perception in children with low vision is associated with gross and fine motor skills.
