Ankle and Tendon Health in Adults with Autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at posture, balance, and ankle flexibility in children with autism. It aims to understand how these factors are related.
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.
This study collects information on people with Achilles tendon problems to better understand and treat these conditions. If you're an adult with an Achilles tendon issue, joining may help advance research.
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.
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 asks people with Achilles tendon pain why they do or don't stick with exercise treatment. Researchers want to understand what helps or prevents people from continuing their exercises so they can improve how these treatments are delivered.
