Ankle weights may steady kids with rare balance disorder
NCT ID NCT05227066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding light weights to the ankles can improve balance in children aged 7 to 13 who have ataxic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects coordination and stability. Researchers will measure changes using a special balance platform. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost way to help these kids move more steadily.
