Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study group
40 children with autism underwent postural assessments, including measurement of craniovertebral angle (CVA) for head posture and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) for postural control; hand function assessments, including Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) for hand skills and Jamar hand dynamometer for hand grip strength; sensory processing assessments using Dunn Sensory Profile; nutrition problem assessments using the Screening Tool of Feeding Problems (STEP) and The Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI); and evaluation of life quality using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-Parents Form (PedsQL-Parents Form). The Beck Depression Scale (BDI), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI), and Trait-State Anxiety Scale were used to assess parents depression, anxiety, and anxiety status.
No interventions assigned to this group
Control group
