New running and skating exercises could help kids with CP move better
NCT ID NCT07651995

Summary
This study compares a special exercise program called Coordinative Locomotor Training (CLT) to regular physiotherapy for children aged 8 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes stiffness on one side of the body. CLT uses running and skating movements to train both arms and legs to work together. The goal is to see if CLT improves coordination and balance more than standard therapy after 4 weeks of training.
