Power training for tight calf muscles in children with spastic paresis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
