Abstract

Background: Individuals with visual impairment have balance deficits; therefore, this systematic review aimed to provide comprehensive insights into the balance control of individuals with visual impairments when compared with individuals with full vision.

Methods: Primary sources were obtained from eight databases including PubMed, LILACS, Science Direct, SCOPUS, CINAHL, PEDro, CENTRAL, and Web of Science. The search period covered years from inception to January 10, 2022.

Results: A total of 20 studies with 29 trials with 1,280 participants were included in the systematic review. The results showed that individuals with sight had better static and dynamic balance than individuals with visual impairment (p = .001). However, individuals with visual impairment had significantly better static balance with visual perturbation and stronger static balance with visual and proprioception perturbation (p = .001). Furthermore, individuals with sight had better balance control than individuals with visual impairment who participated in sports (p = .001). Finally, individuals with visual impairment who participated in sports had better balance control than sedentary people with visual impairment (p = .001).

Conclusion: Individuals with visual impairment have defects in both dynamic and static balance when compared to individuals with sight. In addition, balance improved with increasing age in individuals with visual impairment while balance control was dependent on the proprioception and vestibular systems. Also, individuals with sight had better balance than individuals with visual impairment who participated in sports and individuals with visual impairment who participated in sports compared with sedentary people with visual impairment.

视觉障碍患者的平衡控制：系统综述和荟萃分析。

背景：视觉障碍患者存在平衡缺陷；因此，这篇系统综述旨在提供全面的见解，与完全视力的人相比，有视觉障碍的人的平衡控制。方法：主要来源于PubMed、LILACS、Science Direct、SCOPUS、CINAHL、PEDro、CENTRAL和Web of Science等8个数据库。搜索期涵盖了从开始到2022年1月10日的几年。结果：共有20项研究，29项试验，1280名参与者被纳入系统综述。结果显示，视力受损者的静态和动态平衡比视力受损者更好（p=0.001）。然而，视力受损的个体在视觉扰动下的静态平衡明显更好，在视觉和本体感觉扰动下的静平衡更强（p=0.01）。此外，视力障碍者的平衡控制能力优于参加体育运动的视力障碍者（p=0.001），参加体育运动的视力障碍者比久坐不动的视力障碍患者有更好的平衡控制（p=0.001）。结论：与视力障碍者相比，视力障碍者在动态和静态平衡方面都存在缺陷。此外，视力障碍患者的平衡随着年龄的增长而改善，而平衡控制依赖于本体感觉和前庭系统。此外，与久坐不动的视力障碍者相比，视力障碍者比参加运动的视觉障碍者和参加运动的视力障碍患者有更好的平衡。

期刊介绍： Motor Control (MC), a peer-reviewed journal, provides a multidisciplinary examination of human movement across the lifespan. To keep you abreast of current developments in the field of motor control, it offers timely coverage of important topics, including issues related to motor disorders. This international journal publishes many types of research papers, from clinical experimental to modeling and theoretical studies. These papers come from such varied disciplines as biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. Motor Control, the official journal of the International Society of Motor Control, is designed to provide a multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific information on the control of human movement across the lifespan, including issues related to motor disorders. Motor Control encourages submission of papers from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. This peer-reviewed journal publishes a wide variety of types of research papers including clinical experimental, modeling, and theoretical studies. To be considered for publication, papers should clearly demonstrate a contribution to the understanding of control of movement. In addition to publishing research papers, Motor Control publishes review articles, quick communications, commentaries, target articles, and book reviews. When warranted, an entire issue may be devoted to a specific topic within the area of motor control.
