Trunk Control and Exercise Ability in Children With Autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
