Brain gym: a new hope for kids with spastic diplegia?

This study tests whether simple brain gym exercises—like drinking water, cross crawls, and deep breathing—can improve balance and quality of life in children aged 6 to 8 with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy. Forty-four children will be split into two groups: one doing brain gym plus standard physical therapy, the other doing standard therapy alone. Researchers will measure balance using a special machine and quality of life through a questionnaire.
