Abstrak
Jumlah penderita autisme di Indonesia meningkat setiap tahunnya sebanyak 500 orang. Anak autisme dianggap sebagai kelainan neuro behavioral disorders, yang tidak hanya mengalami gangguan mental dan perilaku tetapi juga adanya gangguan proses sensorik serta keterlambatan dalam perkembangan sensomotorik. Gangguan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak autisme dapat terlihat dari gaya berjalan yang tidak stabil, gerakan tubuh yang tidak terkoordinasi dan mudah jatuh saat bergerak cepat. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengetahui efektivitas pemberian Sensory Integration Exercise dan Vestibular Stimulation Exercise terhadap peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis anak autisme. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif menggunakan desain penelitian quasi eksperimen. Pengumpulan sampel menggunakan metode purpossive sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama 4 minggu dengan latihan sebanyak 3 kali seminggu dengan jumlah populasi 79 dan sampel sebanyak 20 orang, kelompok I diberikan Sensory Integration Exercise dan kelompok II Vestibular Stimulation Exercise. Tiap kelompok diberikan intervensi sebanyak 12 kali perlakuan. Pengukuran keseimbangan menggunakan Balance Beam Walking Test. Hasil penelitian dari pemberian Sensory Integration Exercise menunjukkan bahwa nilai P= 0,000 Abstract (EN): The number of individuals with autism in Indonesia increases by approximately 500 people each year. Children with autism are considered to have neurobehavioral disorders, which include not only mental and behavioral impairments but also sensory processing disorders and delays in sensorimotor development. Dynamic balance disorders in children with autism can be observed through unsteady gait, uncoordinated body movements, and a tendency to fall easily when moving quickly. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Sensory Integration Exercise and Vestibular Stimulation Exercise in improving the dynamic balance of children with autism. This research is quantitative in nature, using a quasi-experimental design. The sample was collected using purposive sampling. The study was conducted over 4 weeks with training sessions three times a week. The total population was 79, with a sample of 20 participants. Group I received Sensory Integration Exercise and Group II received Vestibular Stimulation Exercise. Each group underwent 12 intervention sessions. Balance was measured using the Balance Beam Walking Test. The results of the Sensory Integration Exercise showed a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05), indicating a significant effect on improving dynamic balance. The Vestibular Stimulation Exercise also yielded a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05), indicating a significant effect on improving dynamic balance. The effectiveness of intervention showed a difference marked a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.04). Comparison showed a slight difference in means: 11.8 for Sensory Integration Exercise and 11.9 for Vestibular Stimulation Exercise—a difference of only 0.1. It is hoped that these exercises can serve as material and a training program for children with autism to help improve their balance.
