What this trial studies
This study aims to assess motor skills, balance, dual task performance, and social adaptation in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Conducted at the Bartın Lider Special Education and Rehabilitation Center, participants will be divided into two groups: those with normal motor development and those with ASD. Various assessment scales, including the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, 10-meter walking test, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, and Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Competence Test, will be utilized to evaluate the participants' skills. The study will gather socio-demographic data and analyze the differences between the two groups.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder who are enrolled in a special education and rehabilitation center.
Not a fit: Patients with concomitant secondary diseases or those who have undergone surgery in the last six months may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of motor and social skills in individuals with autism, potentially leading to improved interventions.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have been conducted, this specific evaluation of motor skills and social adaptation in ASD is relatively novel.
