Postural and Muscular Responses to a Novel Multisensory Relaxation System in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Pilot Feasibility Study
A single session with a smart multisensory relaxation system was safe, feasible, and physiologically calming for children with severe ASD, without increasing postural or muscular tension. The platform's standardization and objective monitoring support its potential as a short-term calming adjunct before therapy or classroom tasks. Larger, gender-balanced, multi-session trials with behavioral outcomes are warranted.
