Autism severity and muscle strength: A correlation analysis / Janet K. KERN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-3 (July-September 2011)

GEIER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1011-1015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism severity  Muscle strength  Grip strength Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study examined the relationship between muscle strength, as measured by hand grip strength, and autism severity, as measured by the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Thirty-seven (37) children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were evaluated using the CARS and then tested for hand muscle strength using a hand grip dynamometer. Statistical analysis was then conducted to examine the relationship between autism severity and hand muscle strength. The model generated in the present study showed that the CARS score is a significant predictor of Max Hand Muscle Score after adjustment for age, race, gender, year of birth, and a history of prior chelation therapy. Evidence suggests that hand grip strength in children with ASD is related to the severity of the disorder. Further research is needed to determine the extent and consistency of the muscle weakness and possible treatments.

Examining sensory modulation in individuals with autism as compared to community controls / Janet K. KERN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-1 (January/March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 2-1 (January/March 2008) . - p.85-94 Titre : Examining sensory modulation in individuals with autism as compared to community controls Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janet K. KERN, Auteur ; Madhukar H. TRIVEDI, Auteur ; Carolyn R. GARVER, Auteur ; Alonzo A. ANDREWS, Auteur ; Jyutika A. MEHTA, Auteur ; Thomas CARMODY, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.85-94 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Sensory-Profile Sensory-modulation Community-controls Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of the study was to examine sensory modulation items on the Sensory Profile in individuals with autism as compared to community controls. The data for this study were collected as part of a cross-sectional study that examined sensory processing, using the Sensory Profile, in 103 individuals with autism and/or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), 3–43 years of age, compared to 103 age- and gender-matched community controls. Specifically, this study examined sensory modulation items on the Sensory Profile: Modulation Related to Body Position and Movement; Modulation of Movement Affecting Activity Level; Modulation of Sensory Input Affecting Emotional Responses; and Modulation of Visual Input Affecting Emotional Responses and Activity Level. Sensory modulation in individuals with autism was significantly different than community controls on all four modulation sections of the Sensory Profile, with individuals with autism engaging in the behaviors more frequently than the controls. In addition, a trend was noted in three of the four areas that the older individuals with autism were closer to the community controls than the younger individuals with autism. The results suggest that there are differences between individuals with autism and community controls in their ability to modulate sensory stimuli in areas that affect movement, emotional response, and activity level.

SCHROEDER, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.123-134 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sensory-processing Sensory-Profile Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the relationship between auditory, visual, touch, and oral sensory dysfunction in autism and their relationship to multisensory dysfunction and severity of autism. The Sensory Profile was completed on 104 persons with a diagnosis of autism, 3 to 56 years of age. Analysis showed a significant correlation between the different processing modalities using total scores. Analysis also showed a significant correlation between processing modalities for both high and low thresholds, with the exception that auditory high threshold processing did not correlate with oral low threshold or touch low threshold processing. Examination of the different age groups suggests that sensory disturbance correlates with severity of autism in children, but not in adolescents and adults. Evidence from this study suggests that: all the main modalities and multisensory processing appear to be affected; sensory processing dysfunction in autism is global in nature; and sensory processing problems need to be considered part of the disorder.
