First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a soft back brace that supports the natural curve of the lower back can improve posture, balance, and walking speed in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty-five children aged 6 to 15 with mild to moderate mobility issues will be tested with and without the brace. The goal is to see if this simple device can make daily movement easier.
