Ankle and tendon study for adults with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the structure of the Achilles tendon and ankle in adults with autism. By measuring these, researchers hope to better understand how they might differ, which could help improve treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or a related condition like Fragile X syndrome.
- You are able to live on your own and handle daily tasks independently.

This study looks at how children with autism sense their bodies and whether that relates to tight muscles in their ankles. It may help find better ways to support movement and comfort.
This study looks at posture, balance, and ankle flexibility in children with autism. It aims to understand how these factors are related.
This study collects information from adults with Achilles tendon problems to help researchers better understand the condition. By participating, you can help improve future care for people with Achilles tendon issues.
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
This study observes how the Achilles tendon works during walking in people who have had a stroke, a spinal cord injury, or in healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand gait problems.
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.
