Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of physical activities on balance in patient with amblyopia after strabismus surgery. Patients with strabismus have more difficulty in maintaining postural control in the presence of misleading signals. Through this study the patients will apply physical therapy sessions to improve balance for strabismic amblyopic patient post-surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Berg Balance Scale

  * The scale involves 14 mobility tasks, with the tasks varying in degrees of difficulty. The tasks are divided into 3 domains: sitting balance, standing balance, and dynamic balance. * Each task is graded on a 5-point ordinal scale that ranges from 0 to 4 for a maximum score of 56. In general, a score of 0 is given when the individual is unable to perform the task, and a score of 4 is given when able to complete the given task independently

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

• Dynamic single leg stance test

  1. The subject begins in quiet standing with hands on the hips. 2. The subject lifts one leg off the ground and stands unassisted. 3. Time starts when the foot is lifted off the ground 4. Time stops when the lifted foot either makes contact with the ground, makes contact with the stance limb, when the stance foot moves laterally on the floor, or when the hands leave the hips. 5. Dynamic posture tasks will applied during the test

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks
