Lift and pedals for balance and movement in children with CP
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if doing lifting and pedaling exercises helps children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and ability to move around. It may be a good fit if your child can walk without much help and follow simple instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.

- Your child does not have unstable seizures.
- Your child's medications are expected to stay the same during the study.
- You (the caregiver) can commit to the full program of sessions.
