Summary
This study looked at whether physical training after a type of nerve surgery (selective dorsal rhizotomy) can improve trunk control and arm function in children aged 4-7 with severe cerebral palsy who cannot walk. The training included exercises to strengthen the trunk and improve balance. The trial involved 90 children and compared those who received training plus standard care to those who received standard care alone.
