Background: Physiotherapy students are exposed to prolong near
work, screen use, and visually demanding academic tasks, predisposing them to
visual fatigue and myopia-related discomfort. Brain Gym exercises are
movement-based activities designed to enhance brain-body coordination and
visual-motor integration.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of Brain Gym exercises on
visual acuity and visual functioning among physiotherapy students.
Method: A pre-experimental pre-post study was conducted on
53 physiotherapy students with myopia. Visual acuity was assessed using the
logMAR chart and visual functioning using the Visual Functioning Questionnaire
(VFQ). Participants performed selected Brain Gym exercises for 20 minutes daily
for 4 weeks. Paired t-test was used for analysis.
Results: There was no statistically significant change in
logMAR visual acuity (p > 0.05). However, VFQ scores showed a highly
significant improvement post-intervention (p < 0.0001).
