Dynamic surface exercise for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
