Balance and movement study for children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Your child is between 5 and 12 years old
- Your child can follow simple instructions
- Your child can stand and walk on their own without help
- Your child does not have other conditions that affect movement (like cerebral palsy) or a recent injury that affects walking or balance

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether SWOC activities (strengthening, walking, and coordination exercises) can improve balance, walking, and endurance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It may help kids aged 8–12 who have mild balance issues.
This study tests whether specific balance exercises, called Cawthorne Cooksey exercises, can help improve balance in autistic children who have a problem with their inner ear (vestibular hypofunction). If your child has mild to moderate autism and some balance challenges, this trial might be a good fit.
This study looks at motor skills, balance, and social adaptation in children with autism. It aims to understand how these areas are connected and could help improve therapies.
This study aims to better understand how motor skills (movement and coordination) work in children with autism spectrum disorder. It uses an assessment approach to help researchers understand what motor difficulties look like, which may improve future evaluations and support.
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.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
