NCT ID NCT07394439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will check if breathing strength and lung function are linked to hand use in 37 children aged 6–18 with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Participants do simple breathing tests and hand skill tasks in one clinic visit. The goal is to see if rehab programs should train breathing and hand skills together.
