초록

목적: 시각이상을 가진 아동을 대상으로 시기능훈련을 통한 시각기능이상의 개선 전후 시지각점수의 변화를 살펴보고 시지각에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 방법: 시각기능이상을 가진 13세 미만($8.75{\pm}1.66$)의 아동 23명을 대상으로 시기능훈련 전후에 시지각기능검사(TVPS_R; test of visual perceptual skills-revised)를 실시하여 시기능훈련에 따른 시각기능의 변화와 시지각 평가점수의 변화를 분석하였다. 결과: 시기능훈련을 통해서 원거리 PRC(positive relative convergence) 분리점은 평균 $3.39{\pm}2.59{\Delta}$(prism)에서 $13.87{\pm}6.04{\Delta}$로 증가되었고, 근거리 P.R.C 분리점은 평균 $5.48{\pm}3.42{\Delta}$에서 $18.44{\pm}7.58{\Delta}$로 증가하였다. NPC(near point of convergence)는 $25.87{\pm}7.33cm$에서 $7.48{\pm}2.83cm$로 개선되었고, NPA(near point of accommodation)는 $19.57{\pm}7.16cm$에서 $7.09{\pm}1.88cm$로 개선되었다. 시지각평가에서 시각기억분야를 제외하고는 대응차가 시각완성에서 $17.74{\pm}16.94$(p=0.000), 시각적순차기억에서 $15.65{\pm}17.11$(p=0.000), 배경식별에서 $13.65{\pm}16.63$(p=0.001), 형태향상성에서 $12.74{\pm}18.41$(p=0.003), 시각구별에서 $6.49{\pm}10.07$(p=0.005), 시각적공간지각에서 $4.17{\pm}9.33$(p=0.043) 순으로 개선되었고, 이를 종합한 시지각점수는 대응차가 $15.22{\pm}8.66$(p=0.000)로서 더욱 더 유의한 결과를 나타내었다. 결론: 시기능훈련을 통해서 시각기능의 개선과 시각기억분야를 제외한 시지각점수의 향상이 시각완성, 시각적순차기억, 배경식별, 형태향상성, 시각구별, 시각적공간지각 순으로 유의하게 나타났다. 따라서 시각기능향상을 위한 시기능훈련은 시각의 기능뿐만 아니라 시지각의 기능까지 영향을 미치는 것을 확인 할 수 있으며 시각훈련의 중요성을 인식 할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was to examine how decline of visual function affects visual perception by assessing visual perception after improving visual function through visual training, and observing the change in the cognitive ability of visual perception. Methods: This study analyzes the visual perceptual evaluation (TVPS_R) of 23 children below age 13($8.75{\pm}1.66$) who have visual abnormalities, and improves visual function after conducting vision training (vision therapy) of the children. Results: Convergence increased from average $3.39{\pm}2.52{\Delta}$ (prism) to $13.87{\pm}6.04{\Delta}$ in the measurement of long-distance disparate points, and from average $5.48{\pm}3.42{\Delta}$ to $18.43{\pm}7.58{\Delta}$ in the measurement of short-distance disparate points. Short-distance diplopia points increased from $25.87{\pm}7.33cm$ to $7.48{\pm}2.87cm$, and as for accommodative insufficiency, short-distance blur points increased from $19.57{\pm}7.16cm$ to $7.09{\pm}1.88cm$. In the visual perceptual evaluation performed before and after improving visual function, 6 items except visual memory showed statistically significant improvement. By order of significant improvement, response gap was highest with $17.74{\pm}16.94$(p=0.000) in visual closure, followed by $15.65{\pm}17.11$(p=0.000) in visual sequential-memory, $13.65{\pm}16.63$(p=0.001) in visual figure-ground, $12.74{\pm}18.41$(p=0.003) in visual form-constancy, $6.48{\pm}10.07$ (p=0.005) in visual discrimination, and $4.17{\pm}9.33$(p=0.043) in visual spatial-relationship. In the visual perception quotient that added up these scores, the response gap was $15.22{\pm}8.66$(p=0.000), showing a more significant result. Conclusions: Vision training enables efficient visual processing and improves visual perceptual ability. It was confirmed that improvement of visual function through visual training not only improves abnormal visual function but also affects visual perception of children such as learning, perception and recognition.
