This study investigated the effects of visual conditions associated with progressive eye disease on movement patterns and anxiety levels during gap-crossing tasks. Notably, 15 healthy young adults performed crossover platforms with a 10 cm gap at three different heights, namely equal (0 cm), raised (+15 cm), and lowered (-15 cm) levels, under four vision conditions, namely normal or corrected eyesight, 10° tunnel vision, 5° tunnel vision, and 5° tunnel vision with 0.04 occlusion. Leg movements during gap crossing were analyzed using three-dimensional motion analysis. The results highlighted a distinct motion pattern in the trajectories of participants' legs under the different visual conditions. Specifically, at the point where the gap-crossing movement began (D1), the normal or corrected eyesight conditions resulted in further separation between the steps compared with the other visual conditions. The highest point of the foot during movement (D2) did not differ between the visual conditions, except for the 0 cm step. Furthermore, anxiety levels, as quantified by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) questionnaire, were exacerbated under conditions of restricted visual information. In conclusion, visual impairments associated with progressive ocular diseases may perturb complex motor movement patterns, including those involved in gap-crossing tasks, with heightened anxiety potentially amplifying these disturbances.
本研究调查了与进行性眼病相关的视觉条件对跨越间隙任务期间运动模式和焦虑水平的影响。值得注意的是,15名健康的年轻成年人在四种视觉条件下,即在正常或矫正视力、10°管状视野、5°管状视野以及5°管状视野且伴有0.04遮挡的情况下,在三个不同高度(即等高(0厘米)、升高(+15厘米)和降低(-15厘米))执行了间隙为10厘米的交叉平台任务。使用三维运动分析来分析跨越间隙期间的腿部运动。结果突出显示了在不同视觉条件下参与者腿部轨迹中一种独特的运动模式。具体而言,在跨越间隙运动开始的点(D1),与其他视觉条件相比,正常或矫正视力条件下的步幅之间分离得更远。除了0厘米的步幅外,运动期间脚部的最高点(D2)在不同视觉条件下并无差异。此外,通过状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI-S)问卷量化的焦虑水平在视觉信息受限的条件下会加剧。总之,与进行性眼病相关的视觉障碍可能会扰乱复杂的运动模式,包括那些参与跨越间隙任务的运动模式,而焦虑加剧可能会放大这些干扰。
