چکیده

کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم به‌دلیل نداشتن فعالیت و درخودمانده بودن مستعد ضعف در تعادل، ثبات وضعیتی و ناهنجاری‌های وضعیتی‌‌اند. هدف از مطالعة حاضر بررسی تأثیر یک دوره تمرینات کانگوجامپ بر عملکرد تعادلی کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم با سطح عملکردی بالا بود. روش انجام تحقیق از نوع نیمه‌تجربی بود. از بین کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم در انجمن اوتیسم و مدارس اوتیسم شهر تهران، 20 نفر با استفاده از آزمون‌های غربالگری انتخاب و پس از سنجش عملکرد تعادلی به‌عنوان پیش‌آزمون، به‌صورت تصادفی به دو گروه (مداخله و کنترل) تقسیم شدند. در ادامه گروه تجربی، تمرینات کانگوجامپ را به مدت 8 هفته و هر هفته 3 جلسه انجام دادند و پس از اتمام مداخله از تمامی افراد از طریق اندازه‌گیری آزمون لک‌لک، عملکرد تعادلی پس‌آزمون به‌عمل آمد. به‌منظور بررسی آزمون تحقیق از آزمون تحلیل واریانس مختلط دوعاملی استفاده شد. یافته‌های تحقیق حاضر نشان داد که انجام تمرینات کانگوجامپ در گروه مداخله به‌طور معنا‌داری موجب بهبود عملکرد تعادلی در کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم شد. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که تفاوت معنا‌داری بین نتایج گروه کنترل و گروه تجربی در مرحلة پس‌آزمون وجود دارد. براساس نتایج به‌دست‌آمده، تمرینات کانگوجامپ می‌تواند برای بهبود عملکرد تعادلی کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم مفید و سودمند باشد. ازاین‌رو استفاده از این نوع فعالیت ورزشی به‌عنوان روش مداخله‌ای مناسب برای کودکان با اختلال طیف اوتیسم پیشنهاد می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

Children with autism spectrum disorder are prone to poor balance, postural stability, and postural abnormalities due to inactivity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Kangoo jump training on the balance function of children with autism spectrum disorder with high performance level. The method of this study was quasi-experimental. 20 subjects were selected from children with autism spectrum disorder in the Autism Association and autism schools in Tehran city using screening tests and were randomly divided into two groups (intervention and control) after measuring balance function as the pretest. The experimental group performed Kangoo jumps for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week. After the intervention, all subjects’ balance function was measured by Stork test as the posttest. To test the research hypotheses, two-way multivariate analysis of variance was used. The findings of the present study showed that Kangoo jumps in the intervention group significantly improved balance function in children with autism spectrum disorder. The results also showed a significant difference in the results between the control and experimental groups in the posttest. Based on these results, Kangoo jumps can be useful to improve the balance function of children with autism spectrum disorder. Therefore this type of activity is recommended as an appropriate intervention method for children with autism spectrum disorder.
