symptoms of children with attention deficit disorder
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder usually have behavior and learning disabilities with (six or more) symptoms in the hyperactivity-impulsive categories.
Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.
In the study to investigate whether a yoga exercise intervention influenced the sustained attention and discrimination function in children with ADHD, 49 participants (mean age = 10.50 years) selected and assigned to either a yoga exercise or a control group, researchers after taking into account of other risk factors suggested that children in yoga group demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy rate and reaction time of both Visual Pursuit Test and Determination Test over time in compared to control group.
The astonished findings in the study indicated that yoga therapy as the alternative treatment can be complementary to behavioral interventions for children with attention and inhibition problems.
Furthermore, Dr. Chien-Chih Chou, the led author also opinionated, "Schools and parents of children with ADHD should consider alternatives for maximizing the opportunities that children with ADHD can engage in structured yoga exercises".
More importantly, in the testing the effects of yoga as a complementary therapy in children with moderate to severe ADHD included children between 5 and 16 years of age diagnosed with ADHD and co-operative for yoga training daily during their in-patient stay, researchers found that children attended yoga class expressed a significant improvement in the ADHD symptoms assessed by Conners' abbreviated rating scale - (CARS) and (P-0.014), ADHD-rating scale-IV (ADHD - RS IV) and clinical global impression (CGI)-Severity at the beginning of study, at discharge and subsequently.
1. Children in yoga group expressed a positive change from pre- to post-test on the Conners' Teacher Rating Scales (CTRS) associated with the number of sessions attended on the DSM-IV Hyperactive-Impulsive subscale and with a trend on DSM-IV Inattentive subscale.
2. Yoga group engaged in more home practice showed a significant improvement on TOVA Response Time Variability with a trend on the ADHD score,
3. And, greater improvements on the CTRS Global Emotional Lability subscale
