This study will investigate the effects of a Leap Motion-based virtual reality intervention on fine motor skills and daily living performance in children aged 5-10 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may experience difficulties in motor coordination, hand use, attention, and daily activities, which may affect their participation in everyday life.
The study will include children with ASD who attend occupational therapy sessions and meet the study eligibility criteria. Participants will receive a structured virtual reality-based intervention using Leap Motion technology. The intervention will provide controlled, repetitive, and task-oriented activities involving hand and finger movements.
Fine motor skills, daily living performance, and cognitive functioning will be assessed before and after the intervention using standardized assessment tools, including the Nine Hole Peg Test, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and the Mini-Mental State Examination. Changes in fine motor performance and daily living performance from before to after the intervention will be examined.
The study aims to determine whether a Leap Motion-based virtual reality intervention may support fine motor skills and functional performance in children with ASD.
Children aged 5-10 years. A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Currently receiving occupational therapy services at the study setting. Ability to follow simple verbal instructions and participate in structured intervention activities.
Presence of a neurological, orthopedic, or other medical condition that significantly affects upper-extremity motor performance.
Single group
Leap Motion-Based Virtual Reality Intervention
BehavioralParticipants will receive structured, task-oriented virtual reality activities using Leap Motion technology to practice hand and finger movements and support fine motor performance.
Fine Motor Performance
Fine motor performance will be assessed using the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT). The test measures the time required to place and remove nine pegs, with shorter completion times indicating better fine motor performance.
Occupational Performance and Satisfaction
Occupational performance and satisfaction will be assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Participants and their caregivers will identify occupational problems that are important in daily life, and performance and satisfaction with these activities will be rated. Higher scores indicate better self-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction.
