Summary

Autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that is marked by limited interests, and challenges in communication and social interactions and problem includes difficulties in understanding and responding to social cues, repetitive behaviors, intense focus on specific interests, and challenges with verbal and nonverbal communication. Rhythmic Balance Auditory Vision Training (RBAVT) a therapeutic approach which helps in improving coordination and balance in individuals with various neurological conditions. Strength training enhance physical health and muscle development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of rhythmic balance auditory vision training and strength training on motor function and cognition in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Detailed description

This randomized clinical trial will be conducted in Autism center Lahore. Sample of 76 patients will be recruited in this trial by using the convenience sampling technique. Participants will be randomly allocated in two groups using lottery method. Group A will receive Rhythmic balance visual auditory exercise. Group B will receive strength training exercises. Both groups will receive routine physical therapy as baseline treatment. All the participants will receive 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks.Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) will be used assessment tool to measure fine and gross motor skills and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) will be assessment tool that evaluates cognitive flexibility and problem-solving abilities.
