Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises

A structured sensory-motor integration program based on sensory play activities designed to enhance sensory processing and balance. Each session lasted 45 minutes, conducted four times per week, for a total of 64 sessions over 16 weeks. Activities targeted multiple sensory modalities, including tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular inputs.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional therapy group

Conventional therapy sessions consisting of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and massage therapy without specific sensory-motor integration activities. Each session lasted 45 minutes, conducted four times weekly, for a total of 64 sessions over 16 weeks.
