Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was conducted under the title of ``Research on the characteristics of motor function of visually impaired people and training using biofeedback.'' Since vision and movement are closely related, this study focused on vertical jump and clarified the movement characteristics of congenitally blind people. It became clear that the movement speed of blind people was slower than that of sighted people of the same age.
Basic information nessesary to convert changes in the body's state such as acceleration into sound was obtained, and this will lead to an establishment of more efficient training method for blind people. , and use these as cues to help blind people move more efficiently.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は、視覚と運動の関係をより明らかにしたことである。視覚は静止立位などのバランス機能に必要な情報源の一つであるため、視覚障害者のバランス機能を調査した研究は一定数、存在するが、本研究のように主に俊敏性が要求される動作での研究は数少ない。
一方、社会的意義は視覚障害者のスポーツ参加率向上や成績向上が期待できることである。最終的には視覚障害者のQOL向上につながることが期待できる。
