Brief Summary  

Introduction: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often face challenges with balance and coordination, affecting their motor development. Traditional therapies may not always be engaging or effective. Video game-based training, with its interactive nature, has emerged as a promising alternative to improve these motor skills in children with ASD. This approach provides real-time feedback and can adjust to the child’s skill level, potentially enhancing motivation and therapy outcomes.

Aim and Objectives:

  • Aim: To assess the effectiveness of video game-based training in improving balance and coordination in children with ASD.
  • Objectives: A randomized controlled trial will compare video game-based training to traditional therapy. Intergroup and intragroup differences in balance and coordination will be measured, and the impact will be evaluated using specialized tools.
  • Materials and Methods:

    • Materials: Consent forms, assessment forms, a laptop with Sensamove software, and specialized Sensbalance Miniboard.
    • Study Design: Randomized controlled trial with 60 children with ASD, divided into two groups (Group A - video game-based training, Group B - traditional therapy).
    • Duration: 6 months.
    • Setting: School of Physiotherapy, RK University, and local pediatric physiotherapy centers.
    • Outcome Measures: Static and dynamic balance and coordination using the Sensbalance Miniboard.
