Summary
This trial tests a modified leg therapy for children ages 6 to 8 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects one side of the body. The therapy uses a knee scooter to encourage use of the weaker leg during walking tasks. Researchers will measure changes in walking patterns and mobility compared to standard physical therapy.
