This study is a case control pilot study to investigate the impact of a short-term intervention on training anticipatory postural adjustments in a population of people with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Data will be collected by using a weighted pendulum to provide a posterior perturbation to test subjects' postural reactions pre and post-intervention. Intervention will include four sessions of weighted ball tosses/weighted tether ball stops to improve muscle activation patterns and efficiency. EMG sensors, 3D motion analysis, and force plates will be used to collect the necessary data.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle activation timing | Evaluation in change in muscle activation timing of anterior tibialis, soleus, gastroc, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, rectus abdominis using electromyography | Pre-intervention muscle activation timing will be assessed on the initial visit. Post-intervention muscle activation timing will be assessed immediately after the fourth training session, at most, 7 days later. |

|---|---|---|
| Muscle amplitude response | Evaluation in change in amplitude of anterior tibialis, soleus, gastroc, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, rectus abdominis using electromyography | Pre-intervention muscle amplitude response will be assessed on the initial visit. Post-intervention muscle amplitude response will be assessed immediately after the fourth training session, at most, 7 days later. |
