Static Balance Assessment in Children With ASD Using VRRS

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit postural and balance difficulties, which can impact daily functioning and motor development. Quantitative assessment using Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) provides precise measurements to better understand these deficits and their potential relationship with cognitive functioning. This observational trial aims to evaluate static balance in children with ASD aged 6-10 years. A total of 50 participants were enrolled, with 10 children in each age group. Static balance was assessed using the VRRS and a specific balance task, measuring 13 quantitative parameters including Mean Distance Centre of Pressure (MD\_COP), Root Mean Square of Distance (RMS), Total Excursion (ESC), Velocity (VEL) , and Sway area (SWAY). Cognitive functioning was also recorded using standardized IQ assessments to explore correlations between balance performance and cognitive abilities. All data were stored in a dedicated database for analysis. Participant recruitment: Children diagnosed with ASD will be recruited from the clinical facilities of the Institute for Biomedical Research and Innovation of the National Research Council of Italy (IRIB-CNR) in Messina as part of an ongoing research program. Withdrawn criteria: Participants will be considered withdrawn if any of the following occurs: (1) participant chooses to withdraw from the study at any time, (2) intolerable adverse effects, (3) major violation of the study protocol, and (4…
