PURPOSE: This study was examined the effects of coordinative locomotor training (CLT) on the postural imbalance and gait in children.
METHODS: Four children were sampled as subjects. A single subject study (A-B-A’) was conducted by measuring the following: baseline five sessions;, intervention phase, 15 sessions;, and postline (A’) five sessions. The research period was eight weeks. The CLT program consisted of warming-up exercise, main exercise, and finishing exercise, and it was performed for one hour per day. A oneleg standing test (OLST) was performed determine the static balance. A functional reach test (FRT) was performed determine the reactionary balance. To determine the dynamic balance, the time up and go test (TUG) was performed. A 10m walking test (10 MWT) was performed to determine the walking ability.
A statistical test was performed through descriptive statistics to present the average and standard deviation, and the variation rate was compared using a visual analysis method with graphs.
RESULTS: As a result of CLT application, all four subjects improved the OLST, FRT, TUG, and 10 MWT compared to the intervention period baseline, and postline period.
CONCLUSION: CLT appeared to improve the posture imbalance and gait in children.
