Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder manifesting stereotypic behaviors and problem in communication and social interaction. Different physical therapy interventions like aerobics help to improve recurrent behaviors and task performance of autistic children. This study was focused to see the effect of jogging on the stereotypic behaviors and task performance of autistic children. A single blinded randomized study was conducted on 38 autistic children, randomly allocated to two groups, performing jogging and ball exercises. Repetitive Behavior Scale-revised(RBS-R) and Jebsen Hand Function Test (JHFT) was used for assessment. Exercise was performed for 3 weeks and 4 sessions per week.
