đ Abstract
Introduction: Disorders of the neuromuscular system in children with autism cause motor deficits which cause children with autism to be unable to move. This is caused by a decrease in postural tone. Disturbed postural tone in children with autism will also cause coordination disorders and abnormal movement patterns. Apart from that, improper postural control in children with autism will cause changes in balance and balance disorders. For this reason, researchers provide Perceptual Motor Program and Obstacle Course Exercise interventions in conditions of Autism Spectrum Disorder. To analyze the effect of Perceptual Motor Program and Obstacle Course Exercise on dynamic balance in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Methods: This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research with a one group pre and posttest without control group. The subjects were 25 autism children with balance impairment. Dynamic balance measurements using Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Results: Based on the Wilcoxon Test, the significance value is <0.001 (p<0.05), mean that Perceptual Motor Program and Obstacle Course Exercise can improve dynamic balance. Conclusion: There is an effect of the combination of Perceptual Motor Program and Obstacle Course Exercise on improving dynamic balance function of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
