简要总结
The position of the ankle and foot is known as foot posture, and this can have an impact on balance and mobility. Previous research has shown that differences in foot structure and posture between different populations can have a significant impact on balance. However, to our knowledge, no study has examined the relationship between foot posture, anthropometry, muscle strength, and balance in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This study was therefore designed to analyse these relationships.

结局指标
主要结局
One-Leg Standing Test
时间窗: Baseline
One-Leg Standing Test: During this test, which is used to assess an individual's static balance, the subject will be asked to lift one leg without touching the supporting leg, keeping their eyes open, and the time spent on one leg will be recorded in seconds.
Foot Posture Assessment
时间窗: Baseline
Foot Posture Assessment: Children's foot posture will be assessed using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6), which is valid for pediatric individuals. The Foot Posture Index is a scale consisting of a total of 6 items related to the posture of the rear foot and forefoot. These items are talar head palpation, the position of the inclinations above and below the lateral malleolus, the position of the calcaneus, ballooning in the talonavicular joint region, the structure of the medial longitudinal arch, and the abduction/adduction of the forefoot relative to the rearfoot. The total score in this assessment tool ranges from -12 to 12.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) test
时间窗: Baseline
Timed Up and Go (TUG) test: For this test, individuals are seated in a chair. The individual is asked to stand up from the chair without assistance, walk three meters on the marked floor, walk back to the chair, and sit down again. The stopwatch is started with the "start" command and stopped when the individual sits down. The TUG time is recorded in seconds (s).
