Methodology We recruited 20 school children (IQ gt; 80) diagnosed with ASD, and categorized them in two groups; a 10-member training group (average age: 7.70 ± 1.05) and a 10-member control group (average age: 7.90 ± 1.10). Thus, following a six-week-long balance training intervention in four conditions of bipedal upright stance [compliant (Foam) vs. non-compliant (Hard) with eyes-open (EO) vs. eyes-closed (EC)], we examined measures such as mean velocity (V), anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) axis displacement, and compared the results to those calculated prior to the initiation of the intervention using MANOVA test. Results This study showed that the balance training program efficiently improved the postural control in ASD suffering children, and that removing the visual and plantar proprioceptive information led to increased sway in both groups. The training group performed significantly better than the control group in all conditions. Conclusion It is thus concludable that children suffering from ASD can benefit from such balance training programs to improve their balance and postural control.
