| Research Abstract |
In this research, balance exercises of Asperger's syndrome children were studied by performing the developmental motor test and measuring the stabilometry and the jumping reaction time for the purpose of evaluating the states of clumsy motions associated with Developmental Coordination Disorder. Additionally, the effectiveness of the developmental test was also discussed by comparing the results of the developmental motor test and those obtained by measuring instruments.
The subjects were 64 children in total, 49 male and 15 female, who were diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
As for the measurement, the developmental motor test, the stabilometry test and the jumping reaction test were performed. For the developmental motor test, Movement assessment battery for children(hereinafter called MABC) was used and only the balance test items were performed. For the stabilometry test, Matscan(manufactured by Nitta K. K.) was used, and so was ReactionMR(manufactured by Takei Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.) for the jumping reaction test.
The results of this research were below.
1) The result of the obtained scores of balance disorder of MABC was 6.8±4.06.
2) No correlation was found between the static items of the motor development test and the stabilometry scores.
3) There was a moderate correlation between the dynamic items of the motor development test and the scores of the jumping reaction test.
