Postural stability and visual impairment: Assessing balance in children with strabismus and amblyopia
Fig 2
Means of individual static balance tasks scores among the groups.
The diagram illustrates the difference in means of the individual task time in seconds (time to loss of balance) among the different groups. Included in this analysis are the static tasks: 1- Tandem stand with eyes open (EO), 3- One-foot stand EO, 4- Tandem with eyes closed (EC), 6- One-foot stand EC, 7- One-foot stand on a balance beam (BB) EO, 8- Tandem stand on a beam EO, 9- One-foot stand on a beam EC. Task 6–9 demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the two patient groups and the visually normal controls. Both groups were not statistically different from each other. * Signifies a statistically significant difference among the groups using one-way ANCOVA with age and gender as co-variant. EO = eyes open. EC = eyes closed. BB = balance beam.
