Background and Aims: One of the main characteristics of children with DCD is poor postural control. Compared with their peers, these children are less capable of controlling their balance during variable circumstances due to the fact that they respond more slowly to balance disturbances. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 sessions of vestibular stimulation exercises on the balance of performance in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Materials and Methods: In the current experimental study with pretest, posttest design, 30 children with DCD were randomly divided into two groups of experiment and control. The modified strok test and walking heel to toe test were used to assess dynamic and static balance. Experimental protocol included vestibular stimulation exercises for 12 sessions, 3 sessions a week, with each session lasting for 45 minutes.
Results: The experimental and control groups were significantly different in posttest in terms of dynamic and static balance in that the average balance scores in experimental group were better than those of the control group.
Conclusion: According to the results, vestibular stimulation exercises interventions for 12 sessions could be effective to improve dynamic and static balance in individuals with developmental coordination disorders.
