Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week home-based resistance training program, supervised via telehealth, could improve strength and function in children aged 6–15 with cerebral palsy. Participants used elastic bands and weights during live-streamed sessions. The study aimed to see if the program was feasible and could boost physical abilities and quality of life.
