Abstract:
Background

Children with attention-deficit,hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have shown deficiencies in many physical activities in comparison with normally developing children. One of the problems of these children is the balance,postural control.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of balance training on postural control of children with ADHD.

Methods

Thirty children with ADHD participated in this study,were divided randomly into experimental,control groups. The experimental group performed balance training three times per week for seven weeks. During this period,the control group did not experience any exercises but continued their normal activities. The Biodex balance system (BBS) was used to evaluate static,dynamic balance.

Results

The balance training significantly increased static,dynamic balance in the experimental group (P < 0.001),while the balance scores of children with ADHD in the control group did not change. Participants in the experimental group also performed static,dynamic balance tests significantly better than members of the control group (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

The results showed that specific balance training improves postural control of children with ADHD. These balance trainings probably lead to an adaptive mechanism in the sensory process,cerebellar integration of children with ADHD.
