Core vs. trunk exercises for balance and walking in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of exercises—trunk stabilization and core stability—to see which better improves balance and walking in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Boys or girls ages 2 to 7 years
- Diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy
- Mild to moderate muscle tightness in the legs (grades 1 to 2 on the modified Ashworth scale)
- Balance score above 32 on the Pediatric Balance Scale
