Bouncing to better balance: new exercise study for kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07129785
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested two exercise programs in 50 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy aged 6-12. One group did exercises on unstable surfaces like gym balls and trampolines, while the other did similar exercises on stable surfaces like mats. The goal was to see which approach better improves balance and gross motor function over six weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise training (dynamic surface exercises on unstable surfaces vs static surface exercises on stable surfaces)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective exercise approach to improve balance and motor skills in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all children with CP. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may vary.
