Core exercises for children with spastic diplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether core strengthening exercises can improve balance and posture in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy that affects the legs. It aims to help kids move more steadily and easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (stiffness and trouble moving in both legs).

- Your child's medical treatment has been stable for at least 3 months.
- Your child can understand and follow simple instructions like 'stand up' or 'turn around'.
- Your child has no fixed tight joints, recent leg surgery, or botox injections in the last 3 months.
