Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to investigate postural control in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) during static and dynamic postural challenges. We evaluated postural sway during quiet standing and the center of pressure (COP) shift mechanism during gait initiation for thirteen children with ASD and twelve age matched typically developing (TD) children. Children with ASD produced 438% greater normalized mediolateral sway ( p
