Blindness is one of the first and most used senses that a blind person is deprived of and this sense provides important information. Vision is also important in motor control and balance. The current research examines the relationship between the range of motion of the lower limb joints and balance performance in students with visual impairment, which is an interesting and necessary issue and is of great importance for students with visual impairment because the daily activities and quality of life of these people are strongly related to the range of motion. Lower limb joints and balance function are dependent. This review can help us to gain a better understanding of this relationship in order to provide better guidance for blind people in the field of balance and movement and lead to improving the quality of life and function of blind people. The statistical population of this research includes 27 female students with visual impairment aged 14 to 20 years. They will be selected in a targeted and accessible way. A device called a goniometer will be used to evaluate the range of motion of the lower limb joints (thigh, knee, and ankle). Also, Y balance test, FRT balance test and Berg balance test will be used to evaluate balance.
