Summary
This study compares two types of exercise training—task-oriented and group circuit training—to see which one helps children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy improve their movement and daily activities. About 36 children aged 7 to 12 will participate. The goal is to find better rehabilitation strategies to improve their functional abilities.
