NCT ID NCT07669857
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether plyometric (jumping) exercises on the less affected leg can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children aged 6-10 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Forty children will either get standard physical therapy alone or standard therapy plus plyometric training for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure leg strength, selective motor control, and balance before and after the program.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple exercise-based way to improve leg strength and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is non-invasive, but benefits may be modest.
