Swimming to stability: water therapy tested for CP kids
NCT ID NCT07669350
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a structured aquatic therapy program can improve balance in children aged 5 to 12 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Fifty participants will be split into two groups: one receiving water-based therapy and the other continuing standard land-based physiotherapy. Researchers will measure static and dynamic balance using a special balance system to see if the water approach offers extra benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
aquatic therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a safer, more effective way to improve balance and mobility in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy may not prove better than standard land-based exercises.
