The Relationship Between Sensory Profile and Ankle Muscle Shortness in Children With Autism
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sensory profile and ankle muscle shortness in children with autism.
This study will feature only one group consisting of children with autism
Childhood autism assessment scale will be completed with the families of the children included in the study. The tip-toe walking status of the children participating in the study will be observed and classified according to the tip-toe walking classification. The ankle muscle shortness of the children will be evaluated by Gastro-Soleus shortness measurements and sensory processing skills will be evaluated by Sensory profile.
Muscle shortness measurements and sensory profile results will be compared.
Inclusion: Being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in the Special Needs Report for Children (ÇÖZGER); GMFCS level I,II or III; Between the ages of 4-10; Volunteering to participate in the study.
Exclusion: History of surgery or botox affecting ankle joint range of motion in the last 6 months; Having a rigid contracture in passive knee extension and ankle range of motion.
