Balance Board Training for Children with Cognitive and Motor Delays
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing on a special wobbling balance board can help improve how children with cognitive delays move and coordinate their bodies. The goal is to see if this type of training strengthens balance, coordination, and motor skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
