Predictive Control of Movement in High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder Children: Combine Approach for Motor Skills Leaning

Evaluation of predictive control of movement in children aged 8 to 13 years old with high functioning autism spectrum disorder and the effectiveness of motor imagery training on motor skills learning

Clinical trial with a control group based on community with a parallel group

After the selection and entry of the participants in the private center for rehabilitation of autism, pre-intervention tests are carried out using penalty of basketball and movement assessment battery for children and training present at the center particularly. After 5 sessions of training then tests such as pre-test conditions at the Same center are done.

Inclusion criteria: A) All are right hands B) don't have skeletal- muscular injuries C) range of age between 8 to 13 years D) sex: male E) Do not have a history of engagement in protocols of motor imagery training F) Have a specific schedule for sleeping and eating G) Based on DSM-V criteria, autism spectrum disorder has been identified for these children. Exclusion criteria: A) another disorder, such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, and all kinds of mental retardation have been diagnosed For them B) Have a history of basketball practice C) Have a history of admission to mental hospitals D) Have a history of using psychoactive drugs

Control group: The children of this experimental group are engaged in their common occupational therapeutic and psychological interventions. Intervention group: Children will take part in motor imagery training that will be delivered in 5 sessions per hour In addition common occupational therapeutic and psychological interventions.

dynamic and static balance, aiming and catching, hand dexterity

A) Randomization method: Simple randomization (random number table) B) Building Random sequence method: Determining beforehand reading the table (up, down, right, left) then we start reading numbers from 0 to 50 intervention groups and 51 to 99 control groups. C) Randomization unit: Individual D) Randomization Tool: Random number table, sealed envelopes (for making random sequences) E) Concealment: Snose method A number of aluminum-covered envelopes (in order to keep the contents of the envelopes unclear) are prepared and each random sequence created on the card is recorded and the cards are inserted into the envelopes respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the numbering of the envelopes on the outer surface is done in the same order. Finally, the flap is closed in pockets and placed in the box, respectively. At the time of registration of the participants, according to the order in which the participants are entered, one of the envelopes is opened and the allocated group of that participant is made known.

The data that the output of the movement assessment battery for children is without identifying the subjects of the subject.
