简要总结
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a 16-week structured sensory-motor integration exercise program compared to conventional therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis and massage therapy) in improving sensory processing abilities and balance in children aged 6-12 years diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Outcomes are measured using the Short Sensory Profile and Berg Balance Scale at baseline and after 16 weeks of intervention. Findings aim to demonstrate the clinical utility of sensory-motor integration exercises in enhancing functional outcomes for children with ASD.
详细描述
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder often experience significant sensory processing issues and motor coordination challenges, particularly balance deficits. This study evaluates a sensory-motor integration intervention aimed at improving sensory modulation and motor abilities. Participants aged 6 to 12 years are randomized into two groups: an intervention group participating in structured sensory-motor exercises (64 sessions, 4 times weekly, 45 minutes per session), and a control group receiving conventional therapy (primarily Applied Behavior Analysis and massage therapy). Outcomes are assessed using standardized measures: the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) for sensory processing and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for balance, at baseline and immediately following the intervention period.
