Hand skills linked to school grades in kids with cerebral palsy?
NCT ID NCT07561710
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 10 school-aged children with cerebral palsy to see if their hand function is related to their school grades and performance. Researchers measured hand ability using standard tests and compared them to report card grades and teacher evaluations. The goal was to understand how physical skills might affect learning and participation in school.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, it could point toward ways to improve school support for children with cerebral palsy based on their hand function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, completed observational study (10 children) that only looks for relationships, not treatments. Results may not apply to all children with cerebral palsy.

Who is studied
School-aged children diagnosed with cerebral palsy who meet the inclusion criteria and are actively attending school will be included in this cross-sectional observational study. Participants will be recruited from relevant clinical and educational settings. No intervention will be applied, and all participants will be assessed in a single evaluation session to examine the relationship between upper extremity functionality and school-related outcomes.
