Can a High-Tech undershirt help kids with cerebral palsy walk steadier?
NCT ID NCT07618962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a wearable garment called TheraTogs can help children and teens with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. Twelve participants will be tested with and without the garment to see if it makes an immediate difference. The goal is to find a simple way to help them move more easily in daily life.
