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.

Interventions

OTHER

Cuevas Medek

Group A: will receive Cuevas Medek (CME) In a following procedure: supporting the patient in balance at the leg level and with slight posterior support. Then, once kept in the air for few seconds, slight up and down oscillations will make. The materials that will be used consists of three wooden boxes with the same dimensions (20cm x 40cm x 60cm), a bigger box, a wooden plate and two planks with the same dimensions (17cm x 80cm). Boxes

OTHER

Standard kinetic programs

Group B: will receive standard kinetic programs consisting of stretching (2 sets 15 repetitions with 5 seconds hold) , passive mobilizations (2 sets of 20 repetitions), orthosis( for 6 hours). These techniques and orthotics devices typically focus on tight muscles, maintain proper foot alignment and to address sensory processing difficulties and promote relaxation. Stretching will focus on the hamstrings and calf muscles tightness.
