Hand grip study aims to boost dexterity in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07244146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 10-week hand strength training program for 14 children aged 6-12 with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it improves their grip strength and ability to manipulate objects in their hand. Researchers will measure changes using a dynamometer and the Melbourne Assessment 2 before and after the training.
