Rhythmic Stabilization vs. Ball Balancing for CP Children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two therapy techniques—rhythmic stabilization and ball balancing—to see which helps children with spastic diplegia CP improve balance and movement. It's for children aged 6 to 12 with mild spasticity and normal intelligence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- They must have spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (affecting both legs more than arms).
- Muscle tightness should be mild (Grade 1 on the Modified Ashworth Scale).
- They must have normal thinking ability (IQ above 70).
- They must be able to follow simple instructions.
- No other brain or nerve problems, and no problems with seeing or hearing.

This study compares two types of exercises—Frenkel's exercises and core stability exercises—to see which helps children with ataxic cerebral palsy improve their balance and movement. The goal is to find the best way to help your child stand, sit, and move more safely.
This study tests whether exercising on an unstable surface (like a foam mat or ball) can improve balance and movement in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids who use a walker or wheelchair have better control and independence.
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.
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation with functional training helps improve movement and daily activities in children with cerebral palsy. It may help them move better and do more on their own.
This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
