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

This study tests different therapy methods to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. It focuses on improving their walking pattern and may offer a structured program to support your child's movement.
This trial tests whether combining functional electrical stimulation (a gentle electric current that helps muscles move) with core strengthening exercises can improve walking and posture in young children with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy. It aims to reduce stiffness and improve balance.
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.
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 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 trial compares two types of physical therapy—standard NDT-Bobath therapy and fun video-game-based exercise—to see which better improves spinal mobility in children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. Your child may benefit from learning how these approaches affect movement and flexibility.
