Summary
This study tests whether combining task-oriented training with functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve balance and ankle strength in children aged 6-9 with hemiparesis (weakness on one side). Thirty-six children will participate in a structured exercise program three days a week. The goal is to see if this combination therapy helps them balance and move better.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation approach to improve balance and strength in children with hemiparesis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is a combination of therapies, making it hard to know which part works best.
