Level of Ability Eye, Hand, and Foot Coordination Utilize UMAC-CPF Test Model
Abstract
Cerebral Palsy (CP) Football is explicitly played for people with physical disorders in the category of cerebral palsy. People with CP experience damage to parts of the brain that result in impaired motor skills, especially in eye-hand-foot coordination. This study aimed to analyze the eye-hand-and-foot coordination ability of CP football players. This quantitative research was conducted using descriptive methods. The subjects used 50 CP football players participating in the 2022 Asean Para Games XI in Solo. The UMAC-CPF coordination test model measures the eye-hand-and-foot coordination ability of CP football players. The research results show that, in general, the coordination ability of the FT1 class is in a good category, as well as in the FT2 and FT3 classes. However, in the FT1 and FT2 classes, it was found that there were still 1 or 2 CP football players who had poor coordination abilities. Through the UMAC-CPF test model, CP football players in each class's eye, hand, and foot coordination abilities were generally categorized as good. However, it was found that several players still lacked their abilities. This can be used as a basis for coaches or management teams to evaluate the achievements of CP football players, especially the ability to coordinate eyes, hands, and foot.
