Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention. The Aim of this thesis is Effects of Muscle Energy Technique with and without Stationary Cycling on toe walking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder This study seeks to explore whether the synergistic application of these interventions can provide a more comprehensive and effective approach in managing the debilitating symptoms associated with toe walking in Autistic children.

Interventions

OTHERMuscle Energy Technique with Stationary Bi-Cyclying

MET for post-isometric relaxation of the Achilles, calf, quads, hamstrings, and ankle, position each muscle at resistance, just short of pain. The patient contracts (10-20% effort) for 5-10 seconds while the therapist resists. After relaxing and exhaling, the therapist gently stretches the muscle to the new barrier. Repeat this process 2-3 times, gradually increasing the stretch with each repetition. For PFS MET of the Achilles tendon, calf, quads, hamstrings, and ankle, contract the muscle maximally for 5-10 seconds while the therapist resists. Afterward, the muscle is relaxed, and the therapist quickly stretches it to the new barrier, holding for 10 seconds. Following a 20-second rest, repeat the process 3-5 times. For Reciprocal Inhibition MET, the muscle is placed mid-range, the patient pushes against resistance, then relaxes while the therapist stretches the muscle. This is repeated 3-5 times. Stationary cycling complements the routine.

OTHERMuscle Energy Technique without Stationary Cycling

Afterward, the muscle is relaxed, and the therapist quickly stretches it to the new barrier, holding for 10 seconds. Following a 20-second rest, repeat the process 3-5 times. For Reciprocal Inhibition MET, the muscle is placed mid-range, the patient pushes against resistance, then relaxes while the therapist stretches the muscle. This is repeated 3-5 times without Stationary Cycling
