Ball exercises vs Frenkle for balance in ataxic cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercises (Swiss ball and Frenkle) to see which improves balance better in children with ataxic cerebral palsy. It may help your child gain better stability and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with ataxic cerebral palsy.
- Your child is between 5 and 8 years old.
- Your child has a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of 2, meaning they can walk but may have some trouble with balance.
- Both boys and girls can join.
