NCT ID NCT06945835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a high-intensity exercise program, run by physical therapy students, can help people with neurologic disabilities move better in everyday life. Fifteen participants with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury completed the program. Researchers measured physical activity and mobility before and after the program to see if it made a difference.
