Study reveals how spasticity impacts balance in kids with CP
NCT ID NCT07616193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how spasticity (stiff muscles) affects balance reactions in 40 children with cerebral palsy. Researchers used moving platforms to gently push kids off balance and measured their muscle activity and body movements. The goal was to better understand the link between spasticity and balance control, which could help design better therapies in the future.
