Sensory profile and ankle muscle tightness in kids with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sensory processing relates to tightness in ankle muscles for children with autism. It may help better understand movement difficulties in these children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as part of their special needs evaluation.
- Your child is between 4 and 10 years old.
- Your child is at GMFCS level I, II, or III (can walk with or without help).
- Your child does not have fixed tightness in the knees or ankles that prevents full motion.
- Your child has not had surgery or Botox injections in the past 6 months that affect ankle movement.

This study looks at posture, balance, and ankle flexibility in children with autism. It aims to understand how these factors are related.
This study tests a structured sensory-based occupational therapy program for children with autism. It aims to help improve daily functioning and reduce sensory challenges.
This study examines the structure and health of the Achilles tendon (the large tendon at the back of your ankle) and ankle in adults with autism. Researchers want to understand if autism is linked to differences in how these parts develop, which could help guide future care.
This study uses an MRI scan and movement measurements to better understand muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. It may help researchers improve how spasticity is evaluated and modeled to support future treatments.
This study tests whether special movement and sensory exercises can help children with autism improve their motor skills and how they process sensory information. The exercises are designed to help children better coordinate their movements and feel more comfortable with everyday sensations.
This study aims to better understand how motor skills (movement and coordination) work in children with autism spectrum disorder. It uses an assessment approach to help researchers understand what motor difficulties look like, which may improve future evaluations and support.
