The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of visual training and conventional physiotherapy in children aged 2-5 years with neurodevelopmental disorders. Group A (<i>n</i> = 12) received conventional gross- and fine-motor physiotherapy using various objects. Group B received conventional physiotherapy combined with visual training in a controlled-light environment for 40-45 minutes per session over 20 sessions. The outcome measure used was the visuomotor integration (VMI) from the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2). Group A improved from 41.25 ± 26.59 to 42.83 ± 26.89 (<i>p</i> = 0.01), a 1.11% change, whereas Group B improved from 38.00 ± 31.06 to 39.54 ± 30.83 (<i>p</i> = 0.12), a 1.07% change. There was no statistically significant difference between groups. Comparison of Groups A (<i>p</i> = 0.79) and B (<i>p</i> = 0.78) was not significant. The effect size was 0.11 for both. Group A, receiving conventional treatment, demonstrated statistically significant improvement. Visual training did not result in added benefits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
