Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Olan Çocuklarda Postüral Kontrol, Denge ve İnce Motor Becerilerin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanılı çocuklarda, postüral kontrol, denge ve ince motor becerileri incelemekti.
Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya, 5-17 yaş aralığında, OSB’li 20 çocuk ve 20 sağlıklı çocuk dahil edildi. Çocukların demografik bilgileri alındıktan sonra, postüral kontrol seviyeleri Oturmada Postüral Kontrol Ölçeği (SPCM) ile, denge seviyeleri tek ayak denge testi ve topuk-parmak duruşu testi ile, ince motor becerileri Jebsen Taylor El Fonksiyon Testi ve 9 Delikli Peg Testi ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: OSB’li çocuklar ve sağlıklı kontrol grubu arasında postüral kontrol, denge ve ince motor beceri değerleri arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,05). OSB’li çocukların postüral kontrol, denge ve ince motor becerilerde daha düşük seviyede oldukları görüldü. OSB’li çocukların postüral kontrol, denge ve ince motor becerileri arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, OSB’li çocukların postüral kontrol, denge ve ince motor becerilerde yaşıtlarına kıyasla daha başarısız oldukları görüldü.

Investigation of Postural Control, Balance and Fine Motor Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate postural control, balance and fine motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Materials and Methods: Twenty children with ASD and 20 healthy children between the ages of 5-17 were included in the study. After the demographic information of the children was obtained, postural control levels were assessed by Sitting Postural Control Scale (SPCM), balance levels were assessed with One Leg Balance Test and heel-toe stance test, fine motor skills were performed by Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test and 9-Hole Peg Test.
Results: A significant difference was found in postural control, balance and fine motor skill values between individuals with ASD and control group (p<0,05). Individuals with ASD were found to be a lower level in postural control, balance and fine motor skills. No significant relationship was found between postural control, balance and fine motor skills of individuals with ASD (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was seen that children with ASD were more ineffective in postural control, balance and fine motor skills than their peers.
