NCT ID NCT07316985
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how walking patterns change over a 3-minute walk in 36 children with spastic cerebral palsy compared to 36 typically developing children. Researchers measured step timing and muscle activity at several points during the walk. The goal is to find the best times for rest breaks during physical therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help therapists design better walking-rest schedules for children with cerebral palsy during rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 36 children in each group, so results may not apply to all children with cerebral palsy.
