Abstract
Introduction: Mental retardation is a complex disability. Reported limitations in the mobility of persons with an intellectual disability are more due to the high prevalence of gait and balance problems in these individuals.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 40 mentally disabled children with IQs between 50 and 70 were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups with an average age of 12 ± 1.1 years and a mean age of 10.98 ± 2.2 splits. Subjects' Berg performance balance Scale and the ability to gait with scale Tinetti before and after six weeks and at the end of the training period (12 weeks, three times a week) were measured. After securing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normal distribution of data, an independent t-test for the difference between the two experimental groups and one control group and the paired t-test (pre-test and post-test) at significance level(p ≤ 0/05) spss19 were analyzed with the software.
Results: The independent t-tests before the test results show no significant difference in balance and ability to walk between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). However, there were significant differences in balance and ability to walk after testing the experimental and control groups there(p=0.43). Also, the Paired t-test results showed that the experimental group measured balance in the first six weeks after the training had a significant increase (p<0.001). The ability to gait (scale Tinetti) was also observed that 12 weeks is effective (p=0.33), so that the second six weeks, further enhancing the Tinetti rating scale, was compared with the first six weeks.
Conclusion: The performance training can balance and walkway to effectively improve mentally disabled children and children with intellectual disabilities have an important role in life
