NCT ID NCT06009354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a multi-component home training program to standard care helps children with cerebral palsy recover better after lower leg tendon release surgery. Forty children aged 4-18 who could walk participated. The study measured movement, pain, fear of movement, and walking quality. The goal was to see if extra family-led training improves recovery compared to usual post-surgery care alone.
