Home trunk training may boost motor skills in children with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07729124
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether a 12-week home-based trunk training program, guided by caregivers, can improve trunk control and gross motor function in children aged 4–12 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Twenty families will test the program, which uses video instructions and weekly check-ins. The goal is to see if caregivers can stick with the program and whether it leads to better posture and movement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a home-based intensive segmental trunk training program delivered by caregivers
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a practical, low-cost way to improve trunk control and mobility in children with cerebral palsy at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Caregiver commitment and daily sessions may be challenging.
