Kinematic gait differences in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder
Sérgio Teixeira Fonseca
BackgroundAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is primarily characterized by differences in communication and social interaction, but motor impairments are also commonly observed, often emerging in early childhood. Understanding these motor characteristics may contribute to earlier identification and intervention. This study aimed to compare walking kinematics between autistic and non-autistic preschool-aged children.MethodsThis observational cross-sectional study included 20 children aged 3 to 4 year
