Abstract:

Lower Cross Syndrome is a postural imbalance causing anterior-posterior and upper-lower muscle asymmetry in the trunk. This syndrome is observed in children with autism due to neurological impairments and motor defi-ciencies. This study aims to examine the effect of corrective exercises based on the Janda approach on balance, coordination, motor performance, and quality of life in autistic children with lower cross syndrome.
This semi-experimental study included 24 autistic children who were randomly divided into two groups: 12 in the experimental group and 12 in the control group. The experimental group underwent Janda-based correc-tive exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week, lasting 30–40 minutes per session. Pre-test and post-test assessments included balance and coordination tests (KTK test), motor performance evaluation (FMS test), autism screening questionnaire, and the modified checklist for quality of life assessment. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software, employing Shapiro-Wilk, Levene’s test, independent t-test, and ANCOVA, with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.
