Introduction: Balance is the state of human body to maintain equilibrium with respect to environment. Children learn to maintain equilibrium as age progresses. There are many factors that contribute in balance. Out of many factors vision and eye movement is one of the factors. Aim.The purpose of this study was to determine whether the balance is affected by various types of eye movements. The study examined the effects of eye movements on balance in normal children. Method: Participants were assessed for dynamic balance with respect to different tasks related to eye movements. The data was analysed for type of eye movement, gender and age. Results: During dynamic balance the duration was more (10.44 sec) during static fixation than saccadic eye movements (7.42sec) and smooth pursuit eye movements (6.12sec). In static fixation, while comparing dynamic balance between both the genders, balance component was more in girls (11.7sec) than boys (9.4sec). In comparison of dynamic balance in the age groups, children between 9 years could balance effectively (13sec) than other age group. Conclusion: Eye movements can determine the efficacy of visual postural control. |
