Important components of motor performance are dynamic stability and functional independence, studies on which are lacking in visually disabled children.

Hence the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of balance training on dynamic stability and functional independence in children with visual disability. Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial conducted on 40 subjects with visual disability in the age group of 6- 16 years, allocated into control group (A) n = 20 and experimental group (B) n = 20. Balance training was given for 4 weeks, thrice a week. Before and after training the subjects were evaluated using modified Berg Balance Scale and Wee FIM and the scores were analyzed.
