Summary

This study tests whether a child-friendly core exercise program, delivered via video, can improve balance and mobility in children aged 6-12 with spastic cerebral palsy. Half of the 54 participants will do the Fun-Core exercises at home 3 times a week for 8 weeks, while the other half follow a standard home exercise brochure. Researchers will measure changes in balance and walking ability.
