Two studies (Haibach-Beach, et al., 2020; Perreault, et al., 2020) used the
Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) to assess balance. Both studies used a
shortened version of the BESTest to assess dynamic gait, sensory orientation,
reactive postural control, and anticipatory control. One study (Haibach &
Lieberman, 2013) used the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) test to assess balance.
The PBS balance test is a modified version of the Berg balance scale designed for
youth with motor impairments (Haibach & Lieberman, 2013). One study (Beach,
et al., 2021) used the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor
Development (AHEMD) questionnaire to determine and compare motor
milestones between the experimental and control groups. Another study used the
Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire for Youth with Visual Impairments
(PABQ-VI) to assess children with CHARGE syndrome's barriers to physical
activity (Lieberman et al., 2025).
Types of Physical Activity
Two of the articles reviewed (Arndt et al., 2005; Lieberman et al., 2006)
were completed at Camp Abilities. Camp Abilities is a weeklong sports camp for
youth and young adults who are visually impaired or deaf (Arndt et al., 2005).
During the sports camp, the participants participated in pre-planned sports and
