Motor Function Assessment and VR-based Motor Training in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Autism
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if autism affect motor functions, including muscle strength, balance, and motor control? Additionally, understanding the motor functions, cognitive functions, and brain activation in individuals with autism, and verifying whether motor training can effectively improve muscle strength, balance, and motor control. The main questions aim to answer are: \[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 1\]? \[primary hypothesis or outcome measure 2\]? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare \[arm information\] to see if \[insert effects\]. Participants will \[describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, interventions they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items\].

You may qualify if…
- young adult aged between 18 and 45 years who had a diagnosis of ASD from a licensed mental health or medical professional based on DSM-5.
- was motivated to complete the 6-week VR-based motor function training.
- had a full-scale IQ > 70 on the WAIS-IV.
You may not qualify if…
- a history of major mental illness (e.g., bipolar affective disorder, schizophrenia, or psychosis), neurological diseases (e.g., stroke, lumbar radiculopathy, or spinal cord injury) that hamper walking function, or neurosurgery.
- visual impairment and/or hearing impairment that would preclude participation in motor assessment or training.
