Wii training or reactive drills: which boosts balance better in kids with cerebral palsy?
NCT ID NCT07401108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 children aged 6 to 10 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to see which type of balance training works better: playing on a Wii Balance Board or doing reactive balance exercises. Both groups also did standard physical therapy three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to improve their balance and ability to do everyday activities like walking and climbing stairs.
