This Video Game Improves Balance in Kids with Autism

Noticeable improvement across the board

While Travers was impressed, she wasn't the only one. The participants in the study also noticed that they had seen improvements. Not only that, but ten out of eleven of the participants said that they actually enjoyed the study, and thought that the game was fun.

This pleased Travers, and she explained, "we always aim to make the interventions fun. We have couched a rigorous exercise (by the end of the gaming sessions, participants had been standing on one foot for 30 minutes) in a video game format, so we were delighted to hear that the participants enjoyed the game."
