Abstract

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the presented scientific research was to carry out a comparative analysis of the state of functional balance of the body of 12-year-old schoolchildren with visual deprivation in accordance with their relatively healthy peers.

Material & Methods. The scientific study involved 23 schoolchildren aged 12 years, of which 13 were with visual deprivation and 10 were relatively healthy. The pedagogical research took place at the Educational and Rehabilitation Center “Zorozvit” in Odessa and at the Basic Educational Institution “Vypasnyansky Institution of General Secondary Education” of the Mologovo Village Council of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky District, Odessa Region. The follo wing methods were used in the study: theoretical (analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature); pedagogical research (experiment and testing of the development of body balance using the Flamingo test), mathematical static data processing.

Results. A scientific study found that among schoolchildren without visual deprivation, only 10% had a low ability to maintain body balance. In turn, 90% of schoolchildren with visual deprivation had a sufficient, satisfactory and high level of development of body balance. It should be noted that schoolchildren with visual deprivation demonstrate a low level of ability to maintain balance, which distinguishes them from their peers without visual deprivation.
