Effects of Sensory-Motor Issues on The Performance of Activities of Daily Livings in Autism Spectrum Disorder (original) (raw)

Abstract

Background: Abnormal sensory integration is an important feature of Autism. Due to sensory motor difficulties most of the children with Autism cannot perform their functions independently. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the impact of sensory-motor issues on the performance of activities of daily living skills in Autism spectrum disorder. Methodology: This study was conducted in The ChildrenÂ’s Hospital Lahore and Rising Sun Institute. Data was collected using purposive non random sampling technique in three months duration from 15th October 2014 to 15th January 2015. Observational and Cross sectional study design was used. 35 patients of both genders were included. Sample selection criteria included the patients affected with Autism of age range 3-15 years. Standardized Barthel index scale and Sensory profile questionnaire based on Ayers sensory integration theory were used to determine the sensory motor issues impact on performance of Activities of daily li...

Figure 3: Bar Chart of Frequency of Activities of Daily Livings in Children with ASD Above table shows the sensory-motor problems in children with ASD. In case of analysis of vestibular problems 4(11.4%) disliked play, 7(20.0%) were clumsy, and least children 4(11.4%) did not like jumping on swings and most of the children 23(65.7%) spins constantly. Analysis of propioceptive problems showed that only 14(40.0%) children had stiff and uncoordinated movements, only5(14.3%) had difficulty in getting out of chair and 10(28.6%) were unable to grasp pencil. Tactile problems showed that most children 16(45.7%) disliked textures, 16(45.7%) disliked brushing, combing, 10 (28.6%) showed no reaction to stimuli and 14(40.0%) craves touch. Visual processing disorder showed that most of the children, 24(68.6%) avoid eye contact, and most of the children 21(60.0%) avoid reading and writing. Auditory processing disorder analysis showed that minimum children 6(17.1%) did not respond to name, 15(42.9%) loved noises, most of the children 20(57.1%) irritate by sounds and most children 20(57.1%) cover ears. 15(42.9%) loved noises, most of the children 20(57.1%) Statistical Analysis of Activities of Daily Living showed that in case of analysis of Bowels/Bladder 6(17.1% children had Bowel incontinence, 5(14.3%) occasiona accident and maximum 24(68.6%) children had Bowe continence, most of the children 23(65.7%) had bladder continence,6(17.1%) occasional accident and 6(17.1% were incontinent.
