This study examined the effects of vision on balance. All participants, male (n=4), female (n=4), performed a baseline test of balancing with eyes open on a flat hard surface with single leg and tandem stance for 30 seconds in a quiet area to reduce distractions. After baseline was performed, participants closed had to have their eyes closed and balance for at least 30 seconds with single leg and tandem stance on a flat hard surface. The following day, all participants tested balance with eyes open and eyes closed with the same task on a foam pad. Findings determined that the participants did better on the flat hard ground compared to the foam pad with eyes open and eyes closed. The results showed that on average, participants dropped their leg or fell over half way through on flat surface. On average, participants dropped their leg or fell over within 5-15 seconds on the foam pad. The results concluded that without vision on flat surfaces and on foam pads, the ability to balance decreases significantly compared to with vision.
