Comprehensive Intervention and Effect of Martial Arts Routines on Children with Autism

Area of Science:

• Developmental Psychology
• Pediatrics
• Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder with limited treatment options.
• Current interventions like special education training often lack adaptability for comprehensive child development.
• Traditional treatment models struggle to meet evolving needs in managing ASD.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the comprehensive intervention effects of martial arts routines on children with autism.
• To provide a theoretical and practical reference for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder.
• To analyze the efficacy of integrating martial arts movements into autism intervention.

Main Methods:

• Theoretical analysis of martial arts routine movements as an intervention form for autism.
• Randomized controlled trial dividing participants into experimental and control groups.
• Pre- and post-training evaluation of various indicators in children with autism.

Main Results:

• The experimental group, undergoing martial arts routines, showed significant improvements compared to the control group.
• Key areas of improvement included language, perception, and social skills.
• Specific gains observed: 19.1% increase in language and behavior, 20.7% in perception, and 5.9% in social abilities.

Conclusions:

• Martial arts routines demonstrate a positive and effective role in the intervention and treatment of children with autism.
• This approach can significantly enhance the overall quality of life and developmental skills for individuals with ASD.
• The study provides a scientific basis for utilizing martial arts as a complementary therapy for autism spectrum disorder.
