Official Title: Effects of Cuevas Medek Exercises on Balance and Posture Control in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Brief Summary:
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) describe a group of neurodevelopmental conditions in which the individuals face challenges with social engagement.
This childhood disorder is characterized by core impairments in social/communication and repetitive behaviors.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 68 children aged 8 years.
It is primarily characterized by limited social interaction and communication, restricted interest, and stereotyped or repetitive behaviors.
The motor deficits associated with ASD can relate to impairments of motor planning and control processes.
This Randomized Clinical Trial will recruit the participants through non probability convenience sampling.
Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups.
Two groups of children aged between 2 and 6 years, suffering from autism spectrum disorder, one for control and one for experiment.
Controlled will get conventional treatment while study group will get conventional treatment with Cuevas Medak Exercises (CME).
Treatment duration is of 12 weeks.
Progress will be monitored every month.
The frequency of recovery sessions will 3 sessions/week, and the duration of a session will 45 minutes.
Patient evaluation will be made at the beginning and the end of the treatment through pediatric balance scale and posture and postural ability scale.
Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
