چکیده

 
هدف اصلی پژوهش حاضر بررسی و مطالعۀ تأثیر تمرینات با توپ سوئیسی بر بهبود کارکرد حسی- حرکتی سه پسر مبتلا به اختلال طیف اوتیسم بود. در این پژوهش از روش مورد منفرد استفاده شد. سه شرکت­کنندۀ دچار اختلالات طیف اوتیسم تمرینات توپ سوئیسی را به ­مدت نه هفته انجام دادند. تغییر در نمره‌های خرده‌آزمون حیطۀ حسی- حرکتی از طریق آزمون عصب روان‌شناختی نپسی در طول مداخله و دو هفته پس از پایان مداخله در توالی­های یک‌هفته‌ای اندازه­گیری شد و در پایان پس از دو ماه دوباره از شرکت‌کنندگان آزمون گرفته شد. مداخلۀ­ مورد نظر در مورد هر سه شرکت­کننده اثربخش بود (با PND 100% برای شرکت­کنندۀ اول و 78/77 درصد برای شرکت­کننده‌های دوم و سوم) و این کاهش دو هفته پس از مداخله پایدار ماند. یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد تمرینات با توپ سوئیسی موجب بهبود چشمگیر کارکرد حسی- حرکتی پسران مبتلا به اوتیسم می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

 
The main aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Swiss ball training on the improvement of sensorimotor function in three boys with autism. In the present study, a single-subject method was used. Three autistic participants were required to exercise with Swiss ball for 9 weeks. Changes in the scores of the sensorimotor function subtest were measured by NEPSY neuropsychological test during the intervention and two weeks after the intervention in one-week intervals. The subjects took the test again after two months. The results showed that the intervention considerably improved sensorimotor function of the three participants (PND=100% for the first participant and 77.78% for the second and the third participants). This reduction was found to be maintained two weeks after the intervention. These findings showed that Swiss ball training considerably improved sensorimotor function in boys with autism.
