Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| There will be association of degree of motor and cognitive impairment together with functional performance in virtual tasks, measured by motor response and speed in milliseconds | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1 : specific characterization of the functional profile according to age, autism level and PEDI score; ;Expected outcome 2: perception of the functional evolution in different age groups through the correlation of age and performance in milliseconds in virtual reality games;Expected outcome 3: identification of specific tasks that present greater difficulty of execution in virtual reality for the group with autism through the analysis of the response time in milliseconds for the execution of each task;Expected outcome 4: evaluation of the motor performance of individuals submitted to the virtual reality protocol by analyzing the response time in milliseconds for the execution of each task | — |
