Effect of Ocular Muscle Training on Foot Pressure Distribution and balance among college-going students with Myopia

This dataset presents the results of a quasi-experimental study conducted to evaluate the effect of ocular muscle training (OMT) on foot pressure distribution and balance in college-going students diagnosed with myopia. Myopia, a common refractive error, has been hypothesized to influence postural control due to the integral role of vision in maintaining balance. This study investigates whether targeted eye muscle exercises can positively impact physical balance and postural stability.
Participants included college students aged 18–25 years with a confirmed diagnosis of myopia. The study was conducted over a period of 4 weeks and involved pre, mid and post-intervention measurements. The intervention group underwent a structured OMT program.
Demographic data: Age, gender, height, weight,BMI, degree of myopia (in diopters)
Intervention details: ocular muscle training exercises
Outcome measures (Pre, Mid, and Post):
Balance scores (BBS, Timed up and go test, YBT)
Foot pressure distribution data (Podiascan, Harris Mat)
The dataset is available in Excel formats.
This dataset can be used to:
Analyze the impact of ocular training on balance and foot biomechanics
Explore visual-motor coordination in populations with refractive errors
Compare balance characteristics between myopic and non-myopic individuals
Develop or validate models of sensorimotor integration involving vision and posture
Ethical Considerations:
All participants provided informed consent before participation. The study was approved by the institutional ethics review board, and participant confidentiality has been maintained by anonymizing the dataset.

本数据集呈现了一项准实验研究的成果，该研究旨在评估眼球肌肉训练（ocular muscle training, OMT）对确诊近视的大学生足部压力分布与平衡能力的影响。近视作为一种常见的屈光不正，已有假说提出，由于视觉在维持平衡中发挥着不可或缺的作用，近视可能会对姿势控制产生影响。本研究旨在探究针对性眼球肌肉训练能否对身体平衡及姿势稳定性产生积极影响。
研究对象为年龄18~25岁、经确诊的近视大学生。本次研究周期为4周，涵盖干预前、干预中期及干预后三次测量节点，其中干预组接受了结构化的眼球肌肉训练方案。
人口统计学数据：年龄、性别、身高、体重、身体质量指数（Body Mass Index, BMI）、近视度数（单位：屈光度）。
干预细节：眼球肌肉训练课程。
结局测量指标（干预前、中期、后）：
- 平衡评分（BBS、计时起立行走测试、Y型平衡测试（Y Balance Test, YBT））
- 足部压力分布数据（Podiascan、Harris Mat采集）
本数据集以Excel格式提供，可应用于以下场景：
1. 分析眼球训练对平衡能力与足部生物力学的影响
2. 探究屈光不正人群的视动协调能力
3. 对比近视与非近视个体的平衡特征
4. 开发或验证涉及视觉与姿势的感觉运动整合模型
