Summary
This study looks at whether a mild, non-invasive stimulation on the back (like a light tap) can reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. About 30 children aged 5 to 17 will do movement exercises and receive the stimulation to see if it helps their muscles relax and improves how they move.
