職能治療跳躍活動對發展障礙兒童平衡能力之影響

The Effects of Occupational Therapy Jumping Activity on Balance Ability for Children with Developmental Disabilities

本研究主要目的在探討職能治療跳躍活動對發展障礙兒童平衡能力的影響， 以幼兒園和一年級被診斷為發展遲緩或智能障礙學生為研究對象，共45 人，分 成實驗組25 人，控制組20 人。研究主要結果為：(1) 在靜態平衡方面：活動進 行後，實驗組在張眼單腳站立和閉眼單腳站立測驗中均有顯著進步。控制組在張 眼單腳站立測驗沒有差異，但在閉眼單腳站立測驗中有顯著進步。(2) 在動態平 衡方面：不論是實驗組或是控制組，於活動進行後，在走平衡桿、走直線、和跳 格子三項測驗中二組均有顯著進步。此研究結果，盼能提供特殊教育工作者及相 關的專業治療師在設計教學訓練活動時的參考，藉由提升兒童的平衡能力，進而 促進更有效的學習。

The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of occupational therapy jumping activity on balance ability for children with developmental disabilities. 45 children were chosen for this study. The children were divided into two groups: the experimental group with 25 children and the control group with 20 children. The main findings are as follows: (1) About static balance: After training， the experimental group had improved significantly on one-leg standing with eyes open and one-leg standing with eyes closed. The control group showed significant improvement on one-leg standing with eyes closed; however， no significant difference was found on one-leg standing with eyes open. (2) About dynamic balance: after training， both the experimental group and control group had improved significantly on walking on the balance beam， heel-to-toe walking， and hopscotch. The results of this study may be helpful in furnishing guidelines for special education teachers and therapists to facilitate the balance abilities of children with developmental disabilities， so that they can learn more effectively.
