Treadmill training for toe walking in autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if treadmill training, with or without compression stockings, helps reduce toe walking and improve balance in children with autism. It aims to find a better way to help kids walk more naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has autism and frequently walks on their toes.
- Your child walks on their toes more than 30% of the time.
- Your child is able to follow the treadmill training routine.
- You agree to let your child join the study and sign a consent form.

This study tests whether muscle relaxation techniques (with or without stationary cycling) can help autistic children who walk on their toes. The goal is to improve walking patterns.
This trial tests whether SWOC activities (strengthening, walking, and coordination exercises) can improve balance, walking, and endurance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It may help kids aged 8–12 who have mild balance issues.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve core autism symptoms, thinking skills, and brain function in children aged 3–9 years with autism. It may help families looking for non-drug ways to support their child's development.
This study looks at motor skills, balance, and social adaptation in children with autism. It aims to understand how these areas are connected and could help improve therapies.
This study tests if a simple foot exercise (spreading the toes) helps children with autism walk better, especially when paired with walking on different surfaces. It may help if your child has flat feet.
This study explores how a child's trunk (core body) control relates to their autism severity and how far they can walk or exercise. Researchers will assess trunk stability and walking ability to better understand how these skills develop in children with autism.
