| Popis: | Purpose To assess the extent to which strabismus in children was associated with motor difficulties and to examine which parameters of strabismus were most closely associated with motor development. Methods The motor skills of children who were suffering from strabismus, were tested binocularly using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) and compared with the motor performance of monocularly tested healthy controls without any ophthalmologic disease. Results A total of 40 children with strabismus (mean, 7.25 ± 3.83 years; 19 females) and 18 controls (mean age, 8.33 ± 5.42 years; 6 females) were tested. According to the MABC-2 test, of the 40, 19 had no motor disability, and 21 were at risk of or already presented significant motor disabilities. Results of the MABC-2 were significantly lower for strabismic children without binocularity compared to those with binocularity (P = 0.002). Lack of binocularity was associated with significantly lower performance for static balance (P = 0.003) as well as for catching tasks (P = 0.042). Conclusions Lack of binocularity and stereopsis in children is associated with significant motor skills impairment, in particular for static balance and catching tasks. These results should be confirmed with a larger sample, including older patients, to assess the compensation mechanisms that develop with age and the actual effects of strabismus on overall motor performance. |
