“…It is known that individuals with VIs tend not to engage in sufficient levels of physical activity to garner health-related benefits [2,3]. While some research has identified environmental barriers [4] or psychology factors [27,28] that may impede physical activity behaviour, little is known about what factors influence physical activity from a biomechanical perspective. When viewed in its entirety, this study indicates that persons with VIs have less efficient gaits than sighted individuals when walking without a sighted guide.…”

Purpose. Although walking gait in sighted populations is well researched, few studies have investigated persons with visual impairments (VIs). Given the lack of physical activity in people with VIs, it is possible that reduced efficiency in walking could adversely affect activity. the purposes of this preliminary study were to (1) examine the biomechanics and energetics utilized during independent and guided walking in subjects with VIs, and (2) compare gait biomechanics between people with VIs and sighted controls. Methods. three-dimensional motion capture and force platforms were used during independent and guided walking at self-selected speeds. Joint angles, moments, external work, and recovery were compared. Results. the VI group performed independent walking slower and with reduced stride lengths compared with guided walking and sighted controls. Hip range of motion and peak joint moments were reduced during independent walking in the VI group compared with guided walking and controls. Work was greater by 114%, 32%, and 16% in the VI group during independent than during guided walking. recovery was 11% greater in guided vs. independent walking. Conclusions. In the presented preliminary study among 3 persons with congenital VIs, independent walking was a less efficient mode of walking compared with guided walking and that of sighted controls.

“…In the same sense, the Haegele et al study evaluated 147 individuals with visual impairment of average age of 44.33±15.3 years and observed that the mean BMI was 27.59±6.52, within a variance of overweight individuals. Another study showed that 73.1% of the individuals with VI evaluated were overweight [33].…”

“…VI affects people of all ages and both sexes [30,31]. Previous studies are largely inconclusive as to the relation of sociodemographic factors in adults with VI, which show a high prevalence in both males and females [31][32][33].…”

AIMS: Little evidence demonstrates the influence of physical activity habits on the quality of life of people with visual impairment (VI). To gain a broader understanding, this study attempted to verify the relation between the habits of physical activity and quality of life in people with VI.METHODS: The sample consisted of 53 visually impaired volunteers. The Clinical and Sociodemographic Assessment Sheet, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version and the Quality of Life Assessment Instrument (WHOQOL-Bref) were used.RESULTS: The mean age was 42.39±2.10 years, with a predominance of males and the mean Body Mass Index was 27.55±0.76. Predominant physical activity levels were between moderate to high. Males presented significantly higher levels of vigorous physical activity (p=0.033) and higher scores in WHOQOL-Bref, when compared to the female sex.CONCLUSION: The higher the physical activity levels of this population with VI, the better the quality of life. The participants had a predominance of moderate to high physical activity, as well as, the male presented higher levels of physical activity, when compared with the female in vigorous activities.

“…Little research has been done on the impact vision disease has on exercise and the barriers these individuals have regarding exercise. Haegele et al, have found that exercise does have a positive effect on self-efficacy, but this population is similar to other populations with a disability and are inactive individuals [53,54]. The barriers within this population is significant, but working with healthcare providers to overcome these barriers is important to reduce the likelihood of developing a high-risk profile with lumbar pathology.…”

Background/Purpose: The prevalence of low back pain (LBP) continues to rise and an appreciation for a biopsychosocial approach, which takes in multiple facets of a patient presentation, may significantly impact this increase. To the best our knowledge, there are no studies evaluating the relationship between the STarTBack Screening Tool (SBT) and the access point the patient enters the health system. Our hypothesis is that patients that access care through the medical model will exhibit greater psychosocial risk. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1404 cases of LBP utilizing past medical history, demographic information, and SBT data. A linear regression model to identify potential predictors was utilized followed by analyses using cumulative logistic regression model with potential predictors. Results: Referral source had a positive impact on the SBT score and higher probability of high risk classification. Compared to direct access, accessing care through a primary care physician had an odds ratio of 2.802 and specialist an odds ratio of 3.195. Conclusion: This study provides evidence to the impact that access may have on the psychosocial status of patients with LBP.
