Item Efficacy of canons of expression and yoga on the emotion regulation among the caregivers of children with neurodevelopment disorders A randomized study(SVYASA, 2021-01) Jayashree Ravi Hegde; M. K. Sridhar; T. M. Srinivasan; Karuna Vijayendra; Deepeshwar SinghBACKGROUND: Emotion dysregulation is associated with the subjective burden of caregivers (CGs) of children with neurodevelopment disorders (NDDs) that lead the caregivers to high subjective burden, stress, depression, anxiety, and reduced caregivers’ appraisal, and quality of life. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the efficacy of holistic approach of canons of expression (CE) embedded in Indian aesthetic dance (IAD) and yoga on the psychological outcomes and electrophonic imaging among CGs of children with NDDs compared to control group. METHODS: Participants: A total of 101 CGs of children with NDDs (males= 2; and female= 99) were recruited from three Centers, age ranging from 21-65 were randomly allocated to three groups, i.e., (i) IAD group (n=33, mean age 41.71 ± 9.11 years) (ii) yoga group (n=34, mean age 41.03 ± 9.09 years), and (iii) control group (n=34, mean age 41.56 ± 9.09 years). Design: Three groups (CE, yoga and control) ; pre-mid-post assessment with randomized control trial. Assessments: The outcome assessments consisted of primary outcomes: (i) Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI), (ii) Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Secondary outcome measure (i) Revised Caregivers Appraisal Scale (RCAS), (ii) World Health Organization’s Quality of Life (WHOQOL BREF) scale were measured at baseline, 4th week and 8th week and (iii) Bio-Energy components through Electro photonic image (EPI) technique were measured for immediate effect at pre- and post sessions. Intervention: One experimental group received the intervention of canons of expression, and another group with yoga intervention scheduled for 75-min/day (3-days/week) spread across two months. In contrast, the control group was engaged in regular activities. Results: The IAD and yoga groups showed a significant reduction in scores of ZBS (P<0.001), DASS 21 (P<0.001), and improvement in the RCAS (P<0.001) and WHOQOL (BREF) (P<0.001). Even the EPI parameters showed a significant improvement concerning immediate effect (P<0.001) in intervention groups compared to control group and pre assessment. Conclusion: Two months of comprehensive IAD and yoga program is more effective than non-intervention on the psychological outcome and electrophonic imaging among the CGs of children with NDDsItem Effect of yoga on health related physical fitness and psycho-motor ability in children with intellectual disability(S-VYASA, 2019-11) Pise, Vishvanath N.Background: For children with intellectual disability (ID), fitness and overall newlinefunctioning is lower as they are not active during the course of school days and have newlineless opportunities to participate in physical activities available to their peers. Moreover, newlinethey show disorders at perceptive-motor development and coordination levels. As newlinecompared to other groups with disabilities, these individuals have more functional newlinelimitations in an adaptive behavior and motor function. newlineAim: The aim of the present study is to assess an outcome of yoga practices on healthrelated physical fitness and psycho-motor performance in intellectually disabled newlinechildren. newlineMethods: A Quasi experimental pre-post- design has been used for conducting this newlineresearch study. The purposive sample is randomly assigned into the experimental group newline(n = 35; 24 male and 11 female, age group mean ±SD; 12.37±1.43 years) and the control newline(n = 35; 19 male and 16 female, age group mean ±SD; 13.0±1.7 years) group by making newlinethe use of table random numbers. Both the experimental and control groups were newlineassessed on the first day and after 12 weeks of the interventions for health-related newlinephysical fitness, static balance, eye hand co-ordination, agility and reaction time by newlineusing standardized tests. The subjects of the experimental group then underwent a newlinetraining of yoga practices, under the supervision of a yoga expert for one hour in newlineevenings, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays for a total period of 12 weeks. newlineThe control group did not undergo any yoga training during this period. However, both newlinethe groups continued to participate in their regular extra-curricular activities during newlineschool hours. There were 35 subjects in each group at the baseline testing. However, at newlinethe end of 12 weeks, there were 32 subjects in the experimental group and 29 subjects in the control group because of nine drop-outs. The drop-outs were due to reasons like newlinedisinterest, illness and absence during either the pre-test or post-test. newlineResults: Health Related Physical Fitness:
