Popis: | Background: Children with visual impairments often face challenges in developing motor skills compared to their sighted peers. Understanding these differences is crucial for designing effective interventions to support their development. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the gross (locomotor) and fine (object) motor skills of children with visual impairments to those of sighted children through a comprehensive review and meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to a registered protocol on the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) and in adherence with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Three reliable databases were thoroughly searched for original and peer-reviewed articles. The included studies assessed motor skills using different methodologies, contributing to data heterogeneity. Egger’s regression test was used to assess publication bias. Results: A significant difference was found between low vision and visual groups in locomotor skills (P |
