Farklı görme keskinliklerine sahip Türk çocuklarının motor yeteneklerinin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı görme keskinliklerine sahip Türk çocuklarının motor yeteneklerini karşılaştırmaktı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 30 az gören (9 kız ve 21 erkek), 30 tam ve tama yakın kör (13 kız ve 17 erkek) ile 30 gören çocuk (15 kız ve 15 erkek) olmak üzere 7-14 yaşlarında toplam 90 çocuk dahil edildi. Çocukların motor yeteneklerinin değerlendirilmesinde Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlilik Testi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Az gören ve tam ve tama yakın kör çocukların koşma, denge, üst ekstremite koordinasyon, cevap hızı, üst ekstremite beceriklilik ve toplam motor puan sonuçları az görenlerin lehine bulundu (p
