Autisme dianggap sebagai gangguan mental, dan sering dikaitkan dengan gangguan fisik dan gangguan sistematis. Gangguan ini termasuk gangguan sensorimotor, pertumbuhan motorik, berjalan, mobilitas sendi, keterampilan motorik, kebugaran fisik, kelemahan otot, dan keseimbangan. Gangguan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak dengan autisme dapat dilihat dari cara berdiri dan berjalan yang terlihat goyah dan tidak seimbang, pemberian obstacle course exercise dapat meningkatkan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak autisme. Metode penelitian yang digunakan Quasi-eksperiment dengan pendekatan one group pretest-posttest design. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak penderita autisme di SLB autis Al-Ikhlas Bukittinggi yang berjumlah 74 orang. Teknik dalam pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan cara purposive sampling, yaitu sesuai dengan kriteria insklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditetapkan peneliti dengan besaran sampel sebanyak 10 responden. Analisis data dengan menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata keseimbangan dinamis responden sebelum intervensi adalah 16,94 detik. Rata-rata keseimbangan dinamis responden sesudah intervensi adalah 13,64 detik. Sehingga pemberian obstacle course exercise berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keseimbangan dinamis pada anak autisme, dimana terjadi peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis setelah 12 kali intervensi dengan perbedaan rata-rata keseimbangan responden 3,3 dan nilai p= 0,005 < (0,05). Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa adanya pengaruh pemberian obstacle course exercise terhadap peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak autisme di SLB Al-Ikhlas tahun 2022.

Autism is considered a mental disorder, and is often associated with physical and systematic disorders. These disorders include impaired sensorimotor, motor growth, walking, joint mobility, motor skills, physical fitness, muscle weakness, and balance. Dynamic balance disorders in children with autism can be seen from the way they stand and walk that looks shaky and unbalanced, the provision of obstacle course exercises can improve dynamic balance in children with autism. The research method used was quasi-experiment with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The population of this study were all children with autism at SLB Al-Ikhlas Bukittinggi, totaling 74 people. The technique in taking the sample was purposive sampling, which was in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been set by the researcher with a sample size of 10 respondents. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results showed that the average dynamic balance of the respondents before the intervention was 16.94 seconds. The average dynamic balance of respondents after the intervention was 13.64 seconds. So that the obstacle course exercise has a significant effect on dynamic balance in children with autism, where there was an increase in dynamic balance after 12 interventions with an average difference of 3.3 respondents' balance and p value = 0.005 < (0.05). From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is an effect of providing obstacle course exercise on increasing dynamic balance in children with autism at SLB Al-Ikhlas in 2022.
