| Objective:The main manifestations of autism are persistent problems and deficiencies in social communication and interaction,repetitive behavior and activity patterns,interest preferences,and certain limitations,which are equivalent to neurodevelopmental disorders.Most patients with autism have low intelligence,and their cognitive,emotional,and behavioral abilities are correspondingly impaired.Movement disorders exist in the majority of children with autism,and compared to normal children of the same age,there is consistency in the shortcomings and problems in motor function,reflected in gross and fine movements,imitation,and practice.At present,various countries around the world have not yet reached a unified conclusion in the field of studying the causes of autism in children.Rehabilitation training and education are the only effective methods of correction.The purpose of this study is to confirm the improvement effect of sports games on gross motor movements and brain effect connections in children with autism.Methods:The literature review method was used to review relevant literature.The experimental method included selecting 14 children with autism from Qingdao Xingkong Zhicheng Rehabilitation Center as the experimental subjects.Through inclusion and exclusion criteria,they were randomly divided into an experimental group of 7 people and a control group of 7 people.A 10 week sports game intervention was conducted before and after the intervention,Using the Gross Motor Assessment Scale TGMD-2,Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist(ATEC),and resting state brain effect connectivity as test indicators,collect various data from children and conduct statistical analysis of the data.Results:1.In gross movements,the children in the experimental group found that before and after the intervention,there were significant differences in gross motor development(p = 0.004<0.05),body movement skill(p = 0.005<0.05)and object control skill(p = 0.001<0.05),but there were no significant differences in control group After intervention,the experimental group compared with the control group,the data scores were significantly different.2.In terms of body movement skills,in the experimental group,the scores of running(P = 0.03<0.05),standing jump(p = 0.008<0.05),one-legged jump(p =0.017 <0.05)and side slide(p = 0.018 <0.05)were significantly different before and after intervention,compared with the control group,the experimental group had significant difference in the score of side glide step before and after intervention.3.In the aspect of object control skills,there were significant differences in the score of ground ball(p = 0.004 < 0.05),shoulder throw(p = 0.004 < 0.05)and two-handed catch(p = 0.002<0.05)before and after intervention in the experimental group After intervention,only the ground ball score of the experimental group was significantly different from that of the control group(p = 0.001<0.05).4.There were significant differences in the total scores of ATEC scale(P = 0.000<0.001),language ability(p = 0.000<0.001)and social ability(p = 0.000<0.001)before and after intervention,there was no significant difference in Atec before and after intervention in the control group,but there was no significant difference in the scores of ATEC between the experimental group and the control group after intervention.5.There was no change of EC value in the control group before and after intervention,before and after intervention,EC in the experimental group significantly increased in the right superior temporal gyrus(RSTG → LMC),the right superior temporal gyrus(RSTG → RMC),the right superior temporal gyrus(RSTG → RFA),the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe(LDLPFC → LMC),the left motor cortex(LMC→ RMC),the left motor cortex(LMC → RFA),after intervention,the LSTG-LFA area in the left superior temporal gyrus was significantly increased compared with that in the control group.Conclusions:1.Sports game courses have a significant improvement effect on the physical movement skills of children with autism,with the most significant changes being in running,standing jump,single legged jump,and side sliding step.2.Sports game courses have a significant improvement effect on the object control skills of children with autism,with the most significant improvement effect being the shoulder throwing,ground rolling,and two handed catching.3.Sports game courses have a good improvement effect on the obstacle level of children with autism.After intervention,the experimental group’s children’s language ability and social ability have significantly improved their perceptual level.4.Sports game courses have a positive effect on the brain effect connectivity values of children with autism.After intervention,the improvement of brain EC in subjects is mainly in LSTG ← LFA,RSTG ← LMC,RSTG ← RMC,RSTG ← RFA,LDLPFC ← LMC,LMC ← RMC,LMC ← RFA,and the increased brain EC is mainly concentrated in the frontal and temporal lobes. |
