The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bilateral coordination in children and adolescents with visual impairments aged 7 to 18 years in comparison to their sighted peers. An additional objective was to identify the influence of sex and age on bilateral coordination. Seventy-five individuals with congenital severe visual impairment (40 girls and 35 boys) comprised the visually impaired group. The Sighted group comprised 139 youth without visual impairment. Subtest 4 of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency was administered to test bilateral coordination. To analyze the effect of the independent variables in the results obtained in the Subtest 4, four linear regression models were applied according to group and sex. The results indicated that severe visual impairment and lack of visual sensation had a negative effect on the development of participants' bilateral coordination, which however did not depend on sex or age.
本研究的目的是评估7至18岁视力障碍儿童和青少年与视力正常同龄人相比的双侧协调能力。另一个目标是确定性别和年龄对双侧协调能力的影响。75名先天性严重视力障碍者（40名女孩和35名男孩）组成了视力障碍组。视力正常组由139名无视力障碍的青少年组成。运用运动技能布鲁因inks-奥塞列茨基测验的第4个分测验来测试双侧协调能力。为了分析第4个分测验结果中自变量的影响，根据组别和性别应用了4个线性回归模型。结果表明，严重视力障碍和视觉感觉缺失对参与者双侧协调能力的发展有负面影响，然而这种影响并不取决于性别或年龄。
