Trunk control and walking in children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how trunk control (core strength and stability) relates to autism severity and how far children with autism can walk in six minutes. It aims to find ways to improve physical function in kids with autism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
