Studydesign:-Experimentalstudydesign
Aim:-Tofindouttheeffectivenessofauditoryfeedbackinreducingtoewalkinginchildren withAutismSpectrumDisorder.
Participants:-50subjectswereselectedofagerangebetween3to8yeardiagnosedwithautismspectrumdisorder.
Methodology:-TheselectedparticipantsweredividedintogroupA(Controlgroup)and group B(experimental group). Administration of outcome measures was donepre-postthrough GoalAttainment scale.
Result:- Thesedescriptivestatisticssuggestatendencyfortoewalkingbeforeauditory feedback was applied. Before the administration of auditory feedback, themean values were 2.84, 2.98, and 2.72 respectively. After administering auditoryfeedback, the mean values for GAS, IRS, and DRS changed to 2.9, 2.56, and 1.18respectively.Post-auditoryfeedbackshowedanimprovementintoewalking.ThePre-Post analysis of the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) was conducted to evaluate theimpact of auditory feedback on reducing toe walking behavior in children.Initially,during the pre-assessment using GAS, it was observed that children exhibited toewalking behavior. However, after receiving auditory feedback during assessments,therewas anoticeabledecreaseintoewalking.
Conclusion:-Fromtheobtainedresultofthestudyitisobservedthatthereiseffectof an auditory feedback, to reduce toe walking by using auditory squeaking shoesand conventional occupational therapy intervention in children with autism spectrumdisorder.
