Abstract
Purpose: to identify the state-of-the-art research on postural balance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in both Brazilian and international literature.
Methods: a bibliometric review, developed through bibliographical search in databases using the following descriptors: “postural balance” OR “vestibular diseases” OR “postural equilibrium” AND “autism”. The eligibility criteria for sample selection were articles published in Brazilian and international journals, in either English or Portuguese. There was no restriction regarding the year of publication. The selection was based on reading the title, abstract, and lastly the full text of the articles potentially relevant for this review.
Results: 62 articles were found based on the eligibility criteria. The number of publications related to the study’s theme peaked in 2015 and 2016, the first publication being from 1974. There was a predominance of studies published in the USA (37%), in English, with a quantitative, cross-sectional approach. Most of the authors compared the performance in body balance tasks of children with ASD with that of children with typical development.
Conclusion: it was observed that body balance and postural control in children with ASD are growing trends in scientific publications.

Resumo
Objetivo: identificar o estado da arte do equilíbrio postural em crianças com TEA baseado na literatura nacional e internacional.
Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão bibliométrica, construída por meio de levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados, utilizando os seguintes descritores: “postural balance” or “vestibular diseases” or “postural equilibrium” and “autism”. Os critérios de elegibilidade para seleção da amostra foram: artigos publicados em periódicos nacionais e internacionais; em inglês e português; sem filtro de ano. Para a seleção dos artigos foram considerados a leitura pelo título, seguida do resumo e finalmente, a leitura dos artigos completos, potencialmente relevantes para a revisão.
Resultados: foram encontrados 62 artigos com base nos critérios de elegibilidade. O pico de publicações referente ao estudo ocorreu nos anos de 2015 e 2016, e a primeira publicação encontrada foi no ano de 1974. Predominou os estudos publicados nos EUA (37%), em língua inglesa, com abordagem quantitativa, corte transversal e desenho seccional. A maioria dos autores compararam o desempenho das crianças com TEA e crianças de desenvolvimento típico em tarefas de equilíbrio corporal.
Conclusão: foi observado que o equilíbrio corporal e o controle postural em crianças com TEA são temas em ascensão nas publicações científicas.
