First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
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.
