Effectiveness of Physiotherapy-Based Activity Programs in Controlling Impulsivity in Children with ADHD

Abstract Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is an established neurodevelopmental disorder prevalent during childhood, and its symptoms encompass lack of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Impulsive activity is observed to impact on academic as well as social functioning. Despite the efficacy of medication and behavioural therapies in managing ADHD, the fact is established that these therapies are limited, and the demand for an effective complementary therapy is growing. Physiotherapeutic activity techniques emphasising the domains of motor control, balance, proprioception, and cognition integration stand as promising non-pharmacologic therapies effectively improving the aspect of control. This work seeks to assess the efficacy of a formulated physiotherapeutic activities program in the regulation of impulsive behaviour in children afflicted by ADHD. Based on precisely defined parameters of improvement, the study determines the efficacy of a specific physiotherapeutic approach in arresting the symptoms of impulsivity and response inhibition in affected children. The results of the current study can prove to be a potential impetus in establishing physiotherapeutic interventions as a primary means of multifaceted ADHD management in affected children.
