Summary

This study looked at whether special breathing exercises could help children with cerebral palsy (ages 5-18) breathe better, improve their balance, arm use, and swallowing. Twenty children with mild to moderate CP took part. The goal was to see if these exercises could make everyday activities easier and give therapists a new tool to help.
