NCT ID NCT07173647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to a 4-week cycling and strengthening program helps children with cerebral palsy improve their balance, walking, and mobility more than exercise alone. 26 children aged 6-10 took part. The goal was to see if the extra stimulation makes a meaningful difference in everyday movement.
