Yoga may have a strong implication in reduced symptoms and treatment of Asperger syndrome, some scientists suggested.
Yoga, the ancient practical technique for harmonized external and internal body well-being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known to people in the Western world and some parts of Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes research and supported by health advocates.
Asperger syndrome is a neuro condition characterized by poor social and communication skills, patients may talk a lot but fail to focus and keep up with the subject and also have a very narrow interest as they may talk about only one single subject for months or years.
Some children with Asperger syndrome may also engage in repetitive behaviour such as flagging hands.
In the study of a 7-year-old boy with Apert and Asperger's syndrome who attended 8, 45 min multisensory yoga sessions, twice a week, during a 4-week camp conducted by the Texas State University, researchers filed the following result
1. Yoga participation showed a significant improvement in the total score changes from 19 to 7 for disruptive behaviors.
2. The child after yoga class also displayed a change from showing progression in the ability to stay on task with subjects, observed by Sparks Target Behavior Checklist scores
3. Yoga Pose Rating Scale examined demonstrated the transformation in total scores also improved from 80 = emerging to 115 = consistency in pose performance.
Researchers after taking into account other confounders indicated that the improvement of behavior and subjects focus may be attributed to the positive development in expressive emotions, social engagement, and decline in looking around attitude.
Furthermore, conversation with the child's parents also revealed that the child has shown a strong improvement in the ability to self-regulate stress using the lion's breath and super brain.
Dr. Scroggins ML, the lead author said, "These findings indicate an improvement in behaviors that influenced the physical performance, emotional expression, and social interaction after yoga training for this child".
In further differentiation of the effect of yoga in children with brain development disorders, researchers at the joint study led by the Oregon Health and Science University launched a study to investigate whether yoga mind-body therapies have any implication on symptoms of Social and communication skills and repetitive behavior in children with autism by reviewing literature published on the data base of PubMed, PsychInfo, and Scopus, showed that all qualified studies expressed an improvement of mind-body therapies in associated outcomes of behavior, psychological symptoms, and quality of life.
In fact, children with disruptive or inappropriate behaviors probably are a result of psychological effects in induced inappropriate sensory input caused by anxiety, frustration, and difficult emotional expression.
Yoga physical postures, according to instructors provide a valuably integrated tool to reduce anxiety and support sensory regulation which may improve emotional and behavioral regulation.
Furthermore, the physical posture learned from yoga along with breathing can calm and relax the nervous system in controlled impulsive behaviors and motions.
Some yoga instructors also suggested that the calming and relaxing effect of yoga exercise in physical posture along with breathing strategy may also improve concentration through calming the mind of the children with Asperger syndrome and getting rid of distracting thoughts, thus improving concentration
Additionally, long-term yoga regular practice also reduced stress, anxiety, and tension, thus promoting relaxation and calmness which have been found to have a strong impact on concentration, reduced impulsive and inappropriate behaviors, and improved emotional expression.
In a distant further, the strong implication of regular yoga practice also improved brain performance by keeping the mind active and sharp, particularly in resolving daily problems.
Although all studies were conducted in a small same size and uncontrollable design, they would benefit from larger randomized controlled trials.
The findings indicated that yoga taught by experts may be considered as the secondary therapeutic treatment used in conjunction with standard therapy in reduced system expression and treatment of Asperger syndrome.
