Scooter board vs core exercises for children with CP
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares scooter board activities with core stability exercises to see which helps children with cerebral palsy (CP) who have diplegia (leg weakness). It's for kids aged 6 to 10 who can walk with some help and follow instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have cerebral palsy affecting both legs (diplegia)
- Aged 6 to 10 years old
- Muscle stiffness at mild to moderate levels (Grade 1 or 2 on the Modified Ashworth scale)
- Can walk with limits or holding on (GMFCS level I, II, or III)
- Able to understand and follow simple verbal instructions
