“…These wearable sensors present output data of the three-accelerometer axis independently and provide activity counts as a composite vector magnitude of the axis. For instance, familial trials were conducted to correlate PA between VI, their parents, and siblings [ 66 ]. While in [ 65 ], the authors studied the PA of children with VI during different segments of the school day from the special school for VI in Xingqing Districts in Yinchuan, China.…”

A diverse array of assistive technologies have been developed to help Visually Impaired People (VIP) face many basic daily autonomy challenges. Inertial measurement unit sensors, on the other hand, have been used for navigation, guidance, and localization but especially for full body motion tracking due to their low cost and miniaturization, which have allowed the estimation of kinematic parameters and biomechanical analysis for different field of applications. The aim of this work was to present a comprehensive approach of assistive technologies for VIP that include inertial sensors as input, producing results on the comprehension of technical characteristics of the inertial sensors, the methodologies applied, and their specific role in each developed system. The results show that there are just a few inertial sensor-based systems. However, these sensors provide essential information when combined with optical sensors and radio signals for navigation and special application fields. The discussion includes new avenues of research, missing elements, and usability analysis, since a limitation evidenced in the selected articles is the lack of user-centered designs. Finally, regarding application fields, it has been highlighted that a gap exists in the literature regarding aids for rehabilitation and biomechanical analysis of VIP. Most of the findings are focused on navigation and obstacle detection, and this should be considered for future applications.

“…En lo relacionado con los problemas físicos, varios estudios descubrieron que las personas con ceguera tenían más sobrepeso y obesidad que las personas sin esa discapacidad (Brian, et al, 2019;Haegele, Zhu, y Kirk, 2021;Houwen, et al, 2010b), debido a que las personas con ceguera suelen llevar una vida más sedentaria (Brian, et al, 2019). Relacionado con la salud mental, se encontró que las personas con discapacidad visual tenían más síntomas de malestar psicológico, como por ejemplo ansiedad o depresión (Haegele, et al, 2021). Asimismo, Fotiadou et al (2014) demostraron que el hecho de tener discapacidad visual influye negativamente en la imagen y autoestima de estos niños y niñas.…”

Factores que influyen en la motricidad gruesa de niños y niñas con discapacidad visual: revisión de la literatura

Los niños y niñas con discapacidad visual padecen retrasos en el desarrollo motor. La intervención y estimulación motriz desde la primera infancia puede atenuar el déficit motor y contribuir a un estilo de vida más activo. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar y analizar la bibliografía existente sobre aquellos factores que pueden influir en el desarrollo de la motricidad gruesa en niños y niñas de 0 a 12 años con discapacidad visual o ceguera. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda en tres bases de datos referentes (PubMed, Scopus y SPORTDiscus), siguiendo las pautas de la declaración PRISMA para revisiones. De los 130 artículos seleccionados en la revisión, se incluyeron 18 para el análisis cualitativo. Las evidencias encontradas se relacionan en tres bloques de resultados: 1) la influencia del grado de visión con la adquisición de las habilidades motrices gruesas, 2) la retroalimentación es un elemento favorecedor en las personas con déficit visual en la consecución de estas habilidades y la atenuación de la diferencia con los normo-videntes y 3) el nivel de competencia motriz y la práctica de actividad física y su relación con la adherencia a un estilo de vida activo. Se encontró una relación negativa entre la discapacidad visual y el desarrollo de la motricidad gruesa, con lo que contribuye a generar estilos de vida inactiva entre esta población. El uso de mecanismos de retroalimentación, una evaluación temprana del desarrollo motriz e intervenciones adaptadas desde la infancia, podrían mejorar la situación.

Visual disability negatively impacts balance, everyday self-efficacy, and mobility and often leads affected subjects to perceive physical exercise as a burdensome challenge thus discouraging them from practicing. Despite the well-proven benefits of regular physical activity in visually impaired people, especially addressing postural control, there are no specific guidelines and most of the available literature seems to be flawed by critical issues. Given the wide heterogeneity and the multidimensional needs of this population, a more realistic and target-specific perspective is needed in order to properly investigate and promote exercise practice and adherence for balance improvement. On this basis, through a critical overview of the recent literature, the present article aimed to enrich the current knowledge about this topic by providing innovative suggestions, both practical and methodological, and specifically deepening the disability-related deficits and peculiarities of different age ranges. Moreover, since a multidisciplinary approach is advisable when designing and leading exercise protocols tailored to visually impaired individuals, such innovative hints also highlighted the central role of the adapted physical activity specialist, hence contributing to foster its official professional recognition and involvement in this field.
