The aim of this study was to compare patterns of postural sway in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with typically developing children (TD). We recruited 21 schoolchildren diagnosed with ASD aged 9'14 and 30 TD pupils aged 8'15. Postural sway parameters in composite, anteroposterior and mediolateral axis were reported. Furthermore we examined the impact of age and characteristics of autism on postural sway. Children with ASD exhibited higher amount of sway in anteroposterior range (p < 0.001), mediolateral range (p = 0.002), root mean square (p = 0.001), mean velocity (p = 0.03), and sway area (p = 0.007) compared with their TD peers. Children with ASD showed higher instability in mediolateral than anteroposterior axis though TD children demonstrated higher sway scores in anteroposterior than mediolateral direction. The rate of autism symptom severity significantly affected the postural sway in children with ASD (p < 0.05). In conclusion, patterns of postural control seem to be different in children with ASD compared with TD counterparts. This could be partially due to clinical features were underlying in ASD.

Weight status in Iranian children with autism spectrum disorders: Investigation of underweight, overweight and obesity / Amir Hossein MEMARI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.234-239 Titre : Weight status in Iranian children with autism spectrum disorders: Investigation of underweight, overweight and obesity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amir Hossein MEMARI, Auteur ; Ramin KORDI, Auteur ; Vahid ZIAEE, Auteur ; Fatemeh Sadat MIRFAZELI, Auteur ; Mohammad S. SETOODEH, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.234-239 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Obesity  BMI percentile  Children and adolescence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to survey the weight status of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in Iranian pupils and further to investigate the most likely associated factors such as demographics, autism severity and medications. The survey was designed to provide a random sample of 113 children and adolescents (boys = 90, girls = 23) aged 7–14 years old attending autism-specific schools in Tehran in 2010. The findings revealed that 50.4% of these young children were in the limits of normal weight, but 8.7% were underweight, 13.3% were overweight, 11.5% were obese, and 15.9% were severely obese. There were significant associations between obesity and poverty level, age, sex and socioeconomic state. We conclude that with increase in the prevalence of ASD, there was found a growing rate of obesity in these children.
