Objective Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with subtle neurological signs, no objective evaluation of the sensory integration, which is essential for maintaining balance, has been reported.Method In this study, we used Balance Master(r) and the modified clinical sensory interaction on balance to test the balance function of ADHD children.Result We found that the sway velocity of center of gravity on conditions, firm surface with eyes closed, foam pad with eyes open and foam pad with eyes closed, was significantly higher (P< 0.03) in ADHD group than in controls. Conclusion We concluded that the sensory inputs, the sensory integration, and/or the inhibition of excessive movement are impaired in ADHD children, which result in the balance dysfunction.
