NCT ID NCT07756931
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether playing with a rainbow parachute can improve upper arm strength and social-emotional skills in children aged 5 to 8 with developmental delays. Half the children will do parachute games for 8 weeks, while the other half does rhyming activities. Researchers will measure arm strength and social-emotional skills before and after to see if the parachute games make a difference.
