Summary

This study tests whether combining two types of exercises—sensory motor training and special stretches—can reduce toe walking and improve foot posture in children with mild autism. Researchers will measure changes in foot position and sensory responses in 36 children. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help kids walk more comfortably.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children with diagnosed Mild Autism Spectrum Disorder * Presenting with toe walk as a prominent feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (e.g., more than 50% of steps observed during a gait assessment). Toe walking should be entirely because of Achilles tightness. * Able to follow simple verbal commands. * Sufficient gross motor skills present. Exclusion Criteria: * Toe walking due to neurological (e.g., cerebral palsy, spina bifida, peripheral neuropathy) or orthopedic disorders (e.g., clubfoot, leg length discrepancy \> 1 cm, hip dysplasia, contractures not related to idiopathic toe walking) and other behavioral factors that could be the primary cause of toe walking will be excluded. * History of Achilles tendon surgery or lower limb surgery. * Current participation in another physical therapy intervention targeting gait or posture * Severe behavioral/sensory issues that would interfere with treatment sessions i.e. severe Autism Spectrum Disorder with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as mental retardation. * Non-ambulatory children.
