New app could track movement in kids with cerebral palsy from home
NCT ID NCT07432789
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a smartphone app can accurately measure how children with cerebral palsy move, like jumping and walking. Researchers will compare the app's results with standard motion-capture systems. The goal is to make it easier and cheaper to assess motor skills in everyday settings, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
