Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eye movement training program on postural control and visual perceptual of children with cerebral palsy. Methods This study was designed ABA format in single subject research design. The participants were trained the eye movement training program for 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for eight weeks. Before the intervention is implemented, the baseline (A) data was collected. Eye movement training program (B) data was collected after intervention. Baseline (A ') data was collected 6 weeks after the intervention. Results As a result of the study, the postural control and visual perceptual were improved after intervention. These effects were maintained even during the regression baseline period. Conclusion The results showed that eye movement training program was effective in the improvement of postural control and visual perceptual. The eye movement training program would be the effective therapeutic training program that could be applied to children with cerebral palsy.
