Children with ASD have poorer postural balance when compared to normal individuals. So, The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Virtual Reality on postural control in Autistic children
Detailed description
Autism spectrum disorders are a collection of persistent neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by difficulties in social interactions, communication, and repetitive, stereotyped, and restricting behaviors. Movement problems can occur throughout infancy and are one of the early indications of autism. Furthermore, movement impairments are the most often observed nonverbal deficits in autistic children. Postural stability is described as the capacity to maintain an upright posture by keeping the body's center of gravity over its base of support with little swaying or maximal steadiness, and it is considered a fundamental skill required for normal motor development. Virtual Reality has been used in the field of balance rehabilitation and training because of its relatively low cost and enjoyment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to study the effect of VR on balance in children with ASD.
