Treadmill Training With and Without Compression Stockings on Toe Walking and Balance in Children With Autism.

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder

In brief

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects around 1.7% of US children, with co-occurring conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and epilepsy complicating daily functioning. Early intervention strategies, such as sensory-based therapies and physical exercises like treadmill training, are used to improve motor skills and overall functioning in children with ASD. A randomized controlled trial is being conducted to evaluate the impact of treadmill interventions on children with toe-walking behaviors. Participants will be assigned to either Group A or Group B, with treadmill sessions with or without compression stockings. The study aims to investigate the potential benefits of treadmill therapy as part of a multidisciplinary approach to treating ASD.
