The Influence of Oculomotor Visual Abilities, Balance and Postural Control on the Praxis Abilities of Atypical Children Aged 7-12 Years

The main problems in dyspraxia are problems in coordination patterns and motor
skills that require skills and rhythmic movements (motor skills). The foundation of
children's motor skills is visual oculomotor abilities as a function of visual perception
which is able to influence the midline position of the body so that children are able
to achieve a position of static balance (balance) and also dynamic balance (postural
control). The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the three motor skill
foundations on praxis events in atypical school-aged children. The research was
conducted on 102 samples of children aged 7-12 years at the Asya Therapy Center
Mojokerto. Samples were taken at simple random and divided into 2 groups, namely
the case group (n=54) and the control group (n=48). The research design uses a case
control study where researchers analyze the risk of praxis problems in terms of the
influence of visual oculomotor factors, balance and postural control. Data analysis
used logistic regression analysis which showed a significant value of 0.000
(0.000<0.05) so that from these results it can be seen that visual oculomotor factors,
balance and postural control have a significant influence on praxis problems in
atypical children aged 7-12 year. Apart from that, from the results of calculating the
ods ratio, it was found that the highest ods ratio value was owned by the control
ability
