NCT ID NCT07122362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an elastic leg brace could improve walking and balance in 26 children with spastic cerebral palsy who walk on their toes. Children either received standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus the brace. The study measured changes in gait and balance after 8 weeks. The brace is designed to correct leg rotation and may offer a simple, non-drug option to help with movement.
