What this Trial Is About
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show motor abnormalities and sleep disturbances that affect behavior, learning, and family quality of life. Emerging technologies such as wearable devices and markerless systems provide accessible tools for gait and sleep assessment, with actigraphy recommended for long-term monitoring in natural settings. Evidence also suggests links between sleep problems and sensory processing differences. This project, aims to integrate these approaches in a clinical-translational framework.
