Abstract

Background & Aims: Mental retardation appears to be is one of the most common mental disabilities and causing disturbance of balance in these people. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Core Stability Training program and Closed Kinetic Chain Training program on the dynamic balance of mentally retarded students.
Materials & Methods: forty five male student with mentally retarded were randomly divided in three groups: Control, Core Stability and closed kinetic chain (15 subjects in each group). Participants in both core stability and closed kinetic chain groups were trained 8 weeks (3 session per week). Get Up and Go test was used at baseline and end of 8 weeks to measure dynamic balance of all groups. Data was analyzed by using ANOVA to measure differences between groups (p≤0.05).
Result: dynamic balance results demonstrated a significant differences between core Stability and control groups (P=0.000), closed kinetic chain and control groups (P=0.006) and Core Stability and closed kinetic chain groups (P=0.002).
Conclusion: Core stabilization training program and closed kinetic chain training program improved the static and dynamic balance of mentally retarded students, which it is suggested that dynamic balance can be beneficial in rehabilitation program to mentally retarded students.
