研究组 & 干预措施
ASD Cohort (Study Group)
Participants were recruited as a single cohort of 30 children aged 5-12 years with a clinical diagnosis of ASD.
结局指标
主要结局
Motor Coordination - Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ'07)
时间窗: Single assessment at baseline/data collection
A parent/caregiver-reported standardized questionnaire used to assess motor coordination in children. It evaluates fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and general coordination. Higher scores indicate better motor coordination
motor coordination
时间窗: 2 months
Motor coordination was assessed using the Development Coordination Disorder Questionnaire
Postural Stability - Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS)
时间窗: Single assessment at baseline/data collection
A 14-item functional balance scale designed to assess postural stability and functional balance in children. Each item is scored from 0-4, with a maximum total score of 56. Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
