Study reveals how lung diseases affect Kids' arm strength and balance
NCT ID NCT07148362
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how well children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) can use their arms for exercise, how their muscles use oxygen, and their balance. Researchers compared 88 children aged 6-18 with CF, PCD, and healthy peers. The goal was to understand differences in these areas to guide future care.
