Postural stability and control are essential motor skills for successfully performing various activities of daily living. However, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit significant sensorimotor impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of psychomotricity training on postural control (PC) of children with ASD. We recruited thirty children (age = 8.01 ± 1.2; weight = 31.66 ± 8.1 kg; height = 129.7 ± 10.8 cm) diagnosed with ASD (intellectual quotient > 50) to participate in this study. They were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 16) and control group (n = 14). Children in the experimental group were trained with psychomotor activities two times a week for nine weeks. Statistic postural balance was assessed before and after intervention and on different vision conditions. The results showed that the psychomotor training significantly improved PC in standing position under different conditions when compared to the control group, in all parameters (CoP; CoP; CoP) ( < 0.01). Our preliminary findings suggest the usefulness of the psychomotor training in children with ASD on static PC.
姿势稳定性和控制能力是成功完成各种日常生活活动所必需的运动技能。然而，自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童存在明显的感觉运动障碍。本研究旨在探讨心理运动训练对ASD儿童姿势控制（PC）的疗效。我们招募了30名被诊断为ASD（智商>50）的儿童（年龄=8.01±1.2岁；体重=31.66±8.1千克；身高=129.7±10.8厘米）参与本研究。他们被分为两组：实验组（n=16）和对照组（n=14）。实验组儿童每周进行两次心理运动活动训练，共训练九周。在干预前后以及不同视觉条件下评估静态姿势平衡。结果表明，与对照组相比，心理运动训练在所有参数（CoP；CoP；CoP）上均显著改善了不同条件下站立姿势的PC（P<0.01）。我们的初步研究结果表明，心理运动训练对ASD儿童的静态PC有用。
