The Effectiveness of Balance Intervention In Normal Pre-Teen Urban School Children Using Balance Master
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Postural control is developed by interaction individuals with environment. Maturity of postural control is achieved by 7-10yrs of age. The level of physical activity in children is declining slowly, which causes increase in „sitting time‟ over in physical activities. Specially tailored intervention could provide an insight to influence environmental stimulation in order to improve balance. Study included assessing balance using Balance Master and timed up and down stairs test and compare balance before and after 4 weeks of training with structured balance program along with carry over effect after 26 weeks. And study the effectiveness of balance training. Healthy pre-teen children between age 9-12yrs (n=30) in each group (total 60) from schools of Mumbai were included in the study. MCTSIB on Firm and foam surface (EO & EC) Unilateral stance on firm and foam surface (EO and EC) timed up and down stairs test checked for children at baseline, after 4 week of intervention and after 26weeks of training for both groups. Repeated ANOVA showed significant difference in pre, post and carry over values of sway velocities in experimental group (p<0.05) whereas no significant change in values with control group in sway velocities for MCTSIB and Unilateral stance when checked within the group pointing towards change in performance. Analysis of data showed significant difference in sway velocities for experimental group as compared to controlled group in terms of reduction in sway velocities immediately after 4 weeks of training. However, sway velocities which were markedly low after 4weeks of training returned more or less to the baseline when assessed after 26weeks. Significant improvement if timed up and down stairs test confirms functional improvement in experimental group. Conclusion: Balance training improved the postural control &balance responses in children.
