Autism Spectrum Disorder; Autism

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Postrotary Nystagmus Assessment Test

  The most common diagnostic assessment for vestibular function includes use of the postrotary nystagmus test17 and clinical observation. The postrotary nystagmus test is used to identify whether a child has a vestibular disability During the test, the subject is seated on a rotation disk, with his or her head fixed in a 30-degree angle forward, to ensure that the semicircular canals are horizontal.19 Next, the subject is rotated for ten clockwise or counterclockwise rotations, at 2 seconds per rotation. The subject is asked to gaze forward with both eyes, and the examiner observes the degree of nystagmus produced by the rotations.

• Sensory Profile Test

  Sensory Profile is a report-based questionnaire that is applied to measure the sensory processing abilities of children between the ages of 3-10 and to reveal the effects of the sensory processing process on the functional performance of children in their daily lives, and can determine children's sensory performances in detail. The survey can be applied to children with different types and degrees of disability. Mother, father or caregiver; That is, the evaluation is carried out by the people who are primarily responsible for the child's care by rating the 33 items in the survey according to their frequency. Items are scored as "always = 1, often = 2, sometimes = 3, rarely = 4, never = 5". Raw score totals for each section and factor in the survey. Higher scores indicate a higher frequency of specific sensory responses.

• Vanderbilt Assessment Scale

  Both parent and teacher assessment scales have two components: symptom assessment and impairment in performance. The symptom assessment component screens for symptoms relevant to inattentive and hyperactive ADHD subtypes. To meet criteria for ADHD diagnoses, one must have 6 positive responses to either the core 9 inattentive symptoms or core 9 hyperactive symptoms, or both. A positive response is either a score of 2 or 3 ("often" to "very often"). The final 8 questions of both versions ask the respondent to rate the child's performance in school and his or her interactions with others on a 1-5 scale, with 1-2 meaning "above average", 3 meaning "average", and 4-5 meaning "problematic". To meet the criteria for ADHD, there must be at least one score for the performance set that is a 5, or two scores that are at least 4, as these scores indicate impairment in performance.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Classic physical therapy program will be applied

Other: classical physical therapy program

exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

In addition to the classical physical therapy program, a treatment program including vestibular and proprioceptive exercise training will be applied.

Other: classical physical therapy program; Other: exercises

Interventions

classical physical therapy program OTHER

Children in the control group, where classical physiotherapy and rehabilitation methods are applied, will continue their individual training programs with a physiotherapist for 40 minutes, 2 days a week, for 8 weeks.

control; exercise

exercises OTHER

Children in this group will be given vestibular and proprioceptive exercise training in addition to the classical physiotherapy program. Skateboard, swing, hammock, bowl, ball, sensory pads, ball pool, slide, climbing bar, trampoline and balance board will be used as materials in vestibular and proprioceptive exercise training. In addition, at the end of the training sessions, parents will be informed about the application of exercise training to daily activities.
