Postural Control Instability in Children With Mild Autism
Conditions: Autism Spectrum Disorder
Sex: All
Ages: 7 Years – 12 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 10
Sponsor: Texas Woman's University
Summary
Objective: Individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exhibit some type of motor control impairment, for instance, motor apraxia and history of gross motor delay that could lead to increased risk of fall.
This pilot research was designed to assess and characterize static postural stability and create a starting point to better understand and describe postural control in children with mild autism.
Method: We measured static postural control with center of pressure (COP) displacement in 10 children with mild autism during eight sensory conditions that challenge and cancel the visual, proprioceptive and vestibular systems.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:children from 7-12 years of age, male or femalemild ASD diagnosis (as determined by a medical doctor)capable of ambulating independently.Exclusion Criteria:children with additional neurological problemschildren with visual problemschildren unable to tolerate walking or standing barefootchildren who have fallen three or more times in the last three monthschildren with vestibular problems.
