Abstract
tudy Design; It is a comparative study design.
Aims & Objectives;The aimof the study was to find out the comparison between disc swing and stretch swing on the occupational performance in children with ASD.
Participants; 30 subjects were chosen based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria; they were divided into 2 groups of 15 each for respective swings.
Methods; The treatment was conducted for 12 weeks, COPM was filled through interview, they were given table top activities twice for 5 minutes alternatively and them respective swings for alternate 5 minutes each. Sessions were conducted on alternative days in a week for 3 months. After the completion of treatment protocol COPM was again filled to measure the change in occupational performance.
Result; Despite some variability in significance levels dependingupontheoutcome measure,discswingconsistentlydemonstratedamore significant effect on the target population compared to stretch swing. Analysis of COPM components revealed notable improvements from pre-assessment to post- assessment. Performance (P1) scores increased significantly, indicating enhanced ability to perform daily activities after the intervention. Satisfaction (PS1) scores also showed a significant increase, reflecting improved satisfaction with performance in activities. Self-Perception (S1) scores demonstrated a notable rise, suggesting enhancedself-perception andconfidenceinactivity performance.
Conclusion; From the obtainedoutput of the study,itisobserved thatdisc swing has more efficiencyas it showed greater statistical values. It is more impactful on positive change in occupational performance in children having autism spectrum disorder. Analysis of componentsofCanadianOccupationalPerformanceMeasurerevealedsignificantpositive changes from pre-assessment to post-assessment. The findings reflect the effectiveness of the treatment protocol in improving functional outcomes and overall well-being amongst the target population. The significant enhancements observed in COPMcomponentsfurthersupportthepositiveimpactoftheinterventiononsubjects’ performance, satisfaction, and satisfaction with performance.
