Abstract
We conducted a network meta-analysis to assess and rank the efficacy of different physical activities on motor function, social function, communication, and stereotyped behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder. PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched through May 25, 2023. A total of 37 studies involving 1200 participants and 17 interventions were included in our study. Based on the ranking probabilities, Tai Chi Chuan and fundamental motor skill intervention were ranked as possibly the most effective intervention for motor function and communication, respectively. Kata techniques had the highest probability of being best for stereotyped behavior and social function. This review provides valuable information that physical activity can be a useful strategy in the management of autism spectrum disorder.
我们进行了一项网络荟萃分析,以评估和排名不同的体育活动对自闭症谱系障碍儿童的运动功能、社交功能、沟通和刻板行为的影响。PubMed、EBSCO、Cochrane Library和Web of Science数据库被检索到2023年5月25日。本研究共纳入37项研究,涉及1200名受试者和17项干预措施。基于排名概率,太极拳和基本运动技能干预分别被评为对运动功能和沟通最有效的干预。对刻板行为和社会功能来说,格斗技巧最有可能是最好的。这一综述提供了有价值的信息,即体育活动可以成为治疗自闭症谱系障碍的有效策略。
期刊介绍:
The Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishes original articles that provide critical reviews of topics across the broad interdisciplinary research fields of autism spectrum disorders. Topics range from basic to applied and include but are not limited to genetics, neuroscience, diagnosis, applied behavior analysis, psychopharmacology, incidence, prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, measurement of treatment effects, education, perception and cognition. Topics across the life span are appropriate. In addition, given the high rates of comorbid conditions, the interface of sleep disorders, feeding problems, motor difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other disorders with autism spectrum disorders are appropriate. The Journal aims for an international audience as reflected in the editorial board.
