The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of visual acuity level on throwing technique, proprioceptive sense of the shoulder joint, light touch and two-point discrimination sense of the dominant hand, and sensory function (postural control and reaction time) in goalball players.

Why is it important?

This study was one of the rare studies that evaluated goalball players according to visual acuity. The results obtained from the study will contribute to the training to be given to increase the shots that result in goals and to improve the player's throwing technique in goalball, a paralympic sport.
