Filter by:Children with ASD have poorer postural balance when compared to normal individuals. So, The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Virtual Reality on postural control in Autistic children
: A clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of free-gluten/ casein diet along with specific physiotherapy program on gross motor development and cognitive function in 3-12 years old children with ASD, And thus establish a streamlining of nutrition and physical activity for children with autism and ASD.
This study investigated the safe and efficacious use of suramin as a novel treatment for ASD by testing two suramin doses vs placebo
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that negatively affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. Various animals have started to be used for therapeutic purposes by those in need. In recent years, especially equine-assisted therapies have become popular. However, it has been reported in the literature that more studies on this subject are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of equine-assisted therapy for children with autism on daily living activities, balance, quality of life, and sleep.
A child's ability to effectively communicate with peers, parents, and caregivers impacts their level of independence and quality of personal relationships. This retrospective study will compare the speech development of participants aged 2 - 17 years that received 40 sessions of HBOT at 2.0 ATA to those who had not. Both groups will have a verbal assessment every six months. There were 32 subjects in the HBO group and 33 subjects in the non-HBO group. The statistical analysis will focus on whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy made a significant difference in Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) or Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS) results.
The goal of this clinical trial is by using the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance, which is also supported by the literature and applied by occupational therapists, in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, it is aimed to determine how children's executive function scores and occupational participation change. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance have an effect on executive functions? - Does the Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance have an effect on occupational performance? Participants will: - Evaluations will be applied to all participants - Divided into intervention and control groups - The intervention group will be given "Cognitive Orientation Approach on Daily Occupational Performance" and "Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy" followed up for about 10 weeks. - The control group will be given "Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy" followed up for about 10 weeks. - After 10 weeks, the results between the two groups will be compared. - After the second evaluation, both groups will be followed for 1 month and the same evaluations will be repeated. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see executive functions and occupational participation.
The present study examines if depressive symptoms, paranoid ideation, and emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship between attachment and psychosocial functioning in autistic adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of short-term (3 days/week for 2 weeks) Virtual Reality (VR) active video gaming intervention on static and dynamic balance, versus traditional balance training exercises, in youth with ASD. The participants in the intervention group will engage in VR active video gaming using the Nintendo Switch Sports under supervision via Zoom for 6 sessions occurring over 2 weeks, from their home. While, the participants in the control group will engage in standard physical therapy exercises for balance and walking under supervision via Zoom, for 6 sessions occurring over 2 weeks, from their home. Their balance and walking will be assessed 3 times, 3-5 days before the intervention, 3-5 days after the intervention and 4-weeks after the intervention. - Participants static balance will be assessed by standing on pressure mat, under 2 conditions, eyes open and eyes closed for 30 seconds each. - The Pediatric Berg's balance Scale (PBS), a 14-point scale containing everyday activities, will be used as a clinical measure for assessing the static and dynamic balance. - 13-infra-red camera motion capture system, Qualisys, will be used for assessing the walking. The difference in the balance and walking parameters will be assessed and compared.
It was a Randomized Clinical Trial.Data will be collected from Life care rehabilitation and special child facility.The study was completed within 6 months after approval of synopsis.The calculated sample size, through WHO sample size calculator, using Bruininks- Oseretsky test's mean and standard deviation (Mean Dynamic Balance) as outcome measure was 20 in each group. After adding 10% dropout the sample size will be 20+4=24 in each group; hence, overall sample size n= 20. Age range 5-12 years. Children with diagnosed Autism and age ranges between 5-12 will be included in the study.Convenient Sampling Technique was used to collect the data.There was two groups.In Group A SPARK therapy will be provided and in group 2 fundamental motor skill training will be provided. To assess the social skills Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition (GARS-2) and for motor skills Bruininkse Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOTMP) was used.
The FOOD-AUT pilot study aimed to improve the health status of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through a nutritional intervention at canteen service. The researchers adapted the canteen menus to the nutritional and sensory needs of this vulnerable population, reducing their food selectivity and improving their dietary diversity with a positive impact on their health. This project consisted of two phases: first an observational phase (Work Package 1, WP1) and secondarily an interventional phase (Work Package 2, WP2).
