Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study aims to examine ankle musculoskeletal characteristics in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
A cross-sectional, community-based comparative study will enroll 80 adults aged 18-40, including 40 adults with ASD recruited in partnership with a supported residential community and 40 age- and sex-matched controls. Participants will complete a single assessment session evaluating ankle musculoskeletal characteristics, including tendon structure using ultrasonographic tissue characterization (UTC), ankle strength and range of motion, proprioceptive discrimination using the AMEDA apparatus, and assessment of current and past toe walking, alongside quantitative evaluation of sensory responsiveness using a validated questionnaire (Sensory Responsiveness Questionnaire - SQR). Group comparisons will evaluate differences in ankle structure and function, and association analyses will evaluate relationships among sensory responsiveness, toe-walking status, and ankle measures within the ASD group. Findings will inform the identification of preliminary clinical indicators to support the development of future community-based screening and physiotherapy interventions.
