Pennell, Adam; Patey, Matthew; Fisher, Jenna; Brian, Ali – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Falls are a significant medical and economical concern worldwide. Younger individuals with visual impairment (VI) may be more susceptible to falling and fall-related injuries when compared to peers without a VI. Self-perceived balance confidence is a psychological construct that may predict and/or mediate fall- or other health-related outcomes in…
