What you commit to
- Study type: Interventional
- Participants enrolled: 36
- From 20 Feb 2026 to the primary completion date, 2 May 2026
- 1 site in 1 country
- Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them
Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Current participation in another physical therapy intervention targeting gait or posture
Other illness
- 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.
- 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.
Other
- Non-ambulatory children.
Who the study is looking for
- 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.
Age in the registry: 4 years to 10 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
