Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Sensory-motor function  Emotional behavior  Orthotic under-garment (OUG) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Tailored interventions. One potential novel intervention is orthotic under-garments (OUG Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neuro-developmental disorder frequently presenting sensory-motor impairments. The complexity and diversity of ASD typically calls for individualized).Aim: To explore the feasibility and effect of OUG as a supplementary therapeutic modality on motor, sensory capabilities and behavior of a child with ASD. Participant: A five years and eight months old child with ASD that presents hypotonia, poor postural control and coordination, a significant motor delay, severe sensory modulation problems, and unusual behaviors. Procedure: Motor, sensory and behavioral evaluations were performed pre (Pre-I) and after (Post-I) a four months intervention: Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2), The Short Sensory Profile (SSP),therapists’ reports and parental interviews served as a behavior and emotion evaluation. Results: Motor function has improved (PDMS-2 percentile <1 Pre-I vs. Post-I 3). Sensory function has improved (Total SSP score 136 Pre-I vs. Post-I 102). Therapeutic and parental reports indicated a decrease of atypical behaviors, improvement in self-confidence and better social participation. Conclusion: According to the current case report, the OUG was found to be useful in improving sensory-motor functions and emotional behaviors of a child with ASD. Our findings provide a possible support to the introduction of orthotic undergarment as a part of individually tailored physical therapy interventions for the child with ASD.

A Systematic Review of Hippotherapy (horseback riding) for Individuals with Autism is the Cognitive Level Considered? / Osnat ATUN-EINY in Autism - Open Access, 7-4 ([01/08/2017])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 7-4 [01/08/2017] . - 11 p. Titre : A Systematic Review of Hippotherapy (horseback riding) for Individuals with Autism is the Cognitive Level Considered? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Osnat ATUN-EINY, Auteur ; Meir LOTAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 11 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Intellectual disability  Hippotherapy  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Hippotherapy (HT) or horseback riding is a therapeutic modality that is suggested to improve function in children with cerebral palsy (CP), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) Aim: The aim of this review was to evaluate HT in children with ASD and to assess the feasibility to conclude on this effect, considering the cognitive level of participants. Method: Articles describing HT intervention with individuals with ASD were methodically collected and evaluated. Strength of evidence was graded according to the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine. Results: Most of the 17 articles found supported evidence of positive outcome across a broad range of ASD challenges. Only 5 studies reported participants' IQ level so that the effect of cognitive ability on outcome could not be fully ascertained. Only one study was rated at evidence level I (highest level), two studies were rated at evidence level II, and the remainder were rated at evidence levels III-V. Conclusion: The findings suggest that HT benefits children with ASD. Nevertheless, the evidence supporting HT for individuals with ASD and IDD is limited due to methodological limitations of past research, highlighting the need for further study.
