A Pilot Study Comparing Postural Control in Adolescents With and Without Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Evaluation Under Open-Eyed, Closed-Eyed, and Auditory Stimulation Conditions

This pilot study provides preliminary evidence that adolescents with NDDs demonstrate increased postural sway under auditory stimulation, which may reflect sensory integration difficulties and reduced muscular control. Given the small and heterogeneous sample, these findings should be interpreted with caution. Larger and more homogeneous studies are needed to confirm the observed associations and to clarify the role of auditory input in postural stability among youth with developmental disorders.
