“…Besides, Mirzadeh et al ( 2017) also showed the positive effect of eight weeks of rock-climbing training on static and dynamic balance of sighted and blind girls (Mirzadeh et al 2017), which were consistent with the present study. The findings of the present study were inconsistent with the results of Moffa et al (2017), who examined the effect of one session vibration of body on balance in blind and sighted people, and did not observe significant effects (Moffa et al 2017); the reason for this discrepancy could be that the duration of their training was only one session, and one session of training may not have been able to make the necessary physical changes to improve balance. Ignacio (2020), in his research on blind children, stated that rhythmic exercises had positive effects on static and dynamic balance (Ignacio 2020).…”

“…Omidi, Shamsi Majelan and Karimizadeh Ardakani (2016), in a study on the blind, examined the effect of six weeks of vestibular stimulation training on dynamic balance and stated that the relevant exercises had positive effects on balance (Omidi, Majalan, and Ardakani 2019). Moffa et al (2017) investigated the effect of one session of body vibration on the balance of sighted and blind individuals and concluded that the effects are not significant (Moffa et al 2017).…”

Background: Maintaining balance is an important factor in blind people. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and permanency of core stability training on static and dynamic balance in the blind.Methods: In Sepideh Norouzi School for the blind in Kermanshah, among the available students, 30 blind male and female students were selected and randomly divided into two groups: control (mean age: 9.81±1.31 years) and experimental (mean age: 9.78±1.11 years) groups. Firstly, static and dynamic balance were measured using Bess & Y balance tests respectively. Then, the experimental group performed core stability training for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week (15 to 20 minutes per session). Static and dynamic balance tests were performed again after the end of the training and also two months later.Results: Findings using repeated measures analysis of variance showed that core stability training, immediately after training had significant positive effects on static (p= 0.005) and dynamic (p= 0.001) balance. Also, two months after the end of the training, the positive effects of the training on static (p= 0.009) and dynamic (p= 0.012) balance were significant. Conclusions:Based on this, it can be said that core stability training can be used to strengthen static and dynamic balance, with long-term effects in blind people. Therefore, it is recommended that trainers pay attention to these training to improve balance in the blind.

“…Studies show that training and rehabilitation protocols decrease imbalance and can be used as a strong interventive treatment for children with visual disorder and balance dysfunction. The review of the literature showed that all training, rehabilitation, and exercise programs positively affected the balance improvement in the blind [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Mobility is one key element in these protocols because a sedentary lifestyle explains a certain aspect of imbalance in the blind population.…”

Purpose: This paper reviews the studies on balance in the blind. Methods: The paper comprehensively reviewed studies on balance in the blind from the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials, Google Scholar, and Scopus, from 2001 to 2019. Also, other available papers were examined. Results: Out of 35 evaluated studies, 32 articles were fully represented and the rest were only summarized. These articles covered two issues: 1) balance adaptation in the blind, 2) the effects of training protocols on the balance in the blind. Conclusion: The blind suffer from poor balance. However, they tend not to differ from normal people, when sufficient data from the vestibular and proprioception systems are available. Also, balance in the blind improves by age, which increases the efficiency and maturity of vestibular and proprioception systems. The blind tend to be more reliant on the hip than ankle strategy. All the training protocols reviewed in this paper have positively affected balance in the blind. Nevertheless, it was impossible to determine the most efficient protocol, and further qualitative studies are required for this purpose.
