Tracking Daily Movement in Children With Autism
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses wearable sensors (worn on the wrist and in special insoles) and one night of sleep monitoring to understand how children with autism move and sleep. The goal is to learn more about autism and potentially identify patterns that could help with diagnosis or care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Your child is between 2 and 18 years old
- Your child is able to walk on their own without help
- Your child can wear a wrist sensor continuously for 7 days and special insoles for tracking walking patterns
- Your child can participate in one night of sleep monitoring at home with video and brain-wave recording
- Both parents or legal guardians must consent, and your child must agree if old enough to do so

This study tests whether a portable sleep monitor works well for children with autism who are having their first sleep study. It aims to find easier ways to track sleep patterns at home.
This study tests new sensors that track movement while children and teens play a fun game. The goal is to see if these sensors work well for kids with different motor abilities, which could help improve therapy and assistive technology.
This study tests a new way to check vital signs (like heart rate and temperature) in children with autism who are in the emergency room. The goal is to make the experience less stressful for your child, using a device that may be more comfortable than traditional methods.
This study uses wearable devices (like smartwatches or activity trackers) to monitor movement and motor development in young children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic condition affecting muscle strength. The goal is to see if wearables can track disease progression and treatment response better than traditional clinic visits.
This study tests a wearable sleep monitor (WatchPAT 400) in children and teens who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep test. It aims to see if the wearable device can reliably detect sleep problems as an easier alternative.
This study looks at how motor challenges relate to balance in children with autism. It may help understand how to better support movement and coordination.
