First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining balance exercises with thinking tasks (like math or memory games) and gentle head movement stimulation can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy improve their walking and coordination. Fifty-four children aged 6 to 12 will do these exercises three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this combined training works better than standard physical therapy alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dual task training and vestibular stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better rehabilitation approach to improve balance, motor function, and reduce fall risk in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy is behavioral, so improvements may be modest and require long-term commitment.
