ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of postural control training using a visual blind board, on head control, trunk control, and the sitting abilities of children with moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy. METHODS: Ten children with moderate to severe cerebral palsy participated in this study. Postural control training with a visual blind board was given for 40 minutes per session, 3 times a week for 4 weeks (12 sessions). Before and after the intervention, head control, trunk control, and sitting abilities were quantified using the head control scale, Korean version-trunk control measurement scale, and the sitting part of the Korean versiongross motor function measure-88, respectively. RESULTS: Postural control with the visual blind board significantly improved the head control ability of children with moderate to severe cerebral palsy (p = .015). Their trunk control abilities also showed significant improvement after the intervention (p = .016). However, their sitting ability did not show a significant change. CONCLUSION: These results showed that postural control training using a visual blind board is effective in improving the head and trunk control abilities of children with cerebral palsy. Further studies with suitable sample sizes and control groups are needed to reach a conclusion about the use of postural control training with visual blind boards for improvement of postural control of children with moderate to severe cerebral palsy.
