Summer camp therapy aims to boost movement in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07506837
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an intensive 15-day summer camp can improve movement and energy use in children with cerebral palsy. Thirty children aged 6 to 13 will take part in 90 hours of fun, guided exercises for their arms and legs. Researchers will measure changes in how their bodies use energy and their overall body composition.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Children with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy (hemiparesis or diparesis). * Age 6 to 13 years. * Moderate cognitive impairment or cognitive status compatible with the ability to follow verbal instructions. * Ability to participate in an intensive summer camp-format rehabilitation program. * Parent/legal guardian able to provide informed consent and complete parent-/tutor-reported outcome measures. Exclusion Criteria: * Medical or orthopedic condition that contraindicates participation in intensive physical rehabilitation activities. * Unstable neurological or medical condition (e.g., uncontrolled seizures) that may interfere with safe participation. * Severe cognitive or behavioral impairment preventing comprehension of basic verbal instructions or safe participation in group activities. * Contraindication to study assessment procedures, including physiological testing or DEXA body composition assessment. * Participation in another concurrent intensive rehabilitation program during the study comparison period. * Any condition that, in the investigators' judgment, may compromise safety, adherence, or outcome assessment validity.
