effect and permanency of core stability training on static and dynamic balance in blind children

Background: maintaining balance is an important factor in blind people. the aim of the presentstudy was to investigate the effects and permanency of core stability training on static and dynamicbalance in the blind.methods: in sepideh norouzi school for the blind in kermanshah, among the available students, 30blind male and female students were selected and randomly divided into two groups: control (meanage: 9.81±1.31 years) and experimental (mean age: 9.78±1.11 years) groups. firstly, static anddynamic balance were measured using bess & y balance tests respectively. then, the experimentalgroup performed core stability training for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week (15 to 20 minutes persession). static and dynamic balance tests were performed again after the end of the training andalso 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 onstatic (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 staticand dynamic balance, with long-term effects in blind people. therefore, it is recommended thattrainers pay attention to these training to improve balance in the blind.
