NCT ID NCT07605832

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether moderate treadmill walking can improve how children aged 4 to 6 with surgically corrected acyanotic congenital heart disease walk, balance, and move. Eighty children will take part, with some doing treadmill sessions four times a week for 10 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in stride length, speed, and balance to see if the exercise helps close the gap with healthy children.
