Abstract Synopsis

  • This meta-analysis reviewed 15 studies involving 195 children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to evaluate the effectiveness of various balance interventions, finding a large positive impact on improving balance skills.
  • The results showed that balance-based exercises are highly effective in helping children with ASD improve their motor skills, indicating that balance is a motor skill that can be significantly enhanced through targeted interventions.
  • The article also offers recommendations for future researchers on what information to include when designing and reporting balance intervention studies to improve the quality and consistency of research in this area.]
