姿势控制评估自闭症，正常，和弱智儿童的样本在这项试点研究中使用最近开发的，计算机化的姿势描记程序。管理一系列姿势位置，包括涉及一定程度的“压力”的姿势（例如，视力障碍或站在垫子上）。自闭症儿童的姿势模式不同于正常儿童、智力迟钝儿童和前庭障碍成人。与正常儿童相比，自闭症儿童的姿势表现不太可能表现出与年龄相关的变化，姿势变化更大，更不稳定，有更多的侧向摇摆。自闭症患者也表现出一种“矛盾”的反应，即在更“紧张”的姿势下更稳定，在一只脚、一个脚趾或一个脚跟上施加过多的重量。自闭症的神经解剖模型的影响进行了讨论。
Postural control was evaluated in samples of autistic, normal, and mentally retarded children in this pilot study using a recently developed, computerized posturographic procedure. A battery of postural positions was administered including postures involving some degree of "stress" (e.g., occluded vision or standing on pads). The postural patterns of children with autism differed from those observed in normal children, in mentally retarded children, and in adults with vestibular disorders. In comparison to normal children the autistic subjects were less likely to exhibit age-related changes in postural performance and postures were more variable and less stable with more lateral sway. Autistic subjects also exhibited a "paradoxical" response of greater stability with more "stressful" postures, putting excessive weight on one foot, one toe, or one heel. The implications for neuroanatomical models of autism are discussed.
