New study explores how kids with CP sense their own trunk movements
NCT ID NCT07347483
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 78 children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 6 to 12 to see how well they could sense the position of their trunk (body awareness) and how that relates to their trunk control and ability to do daily tasks independently. Researchers used simple devices to measure trunk position sense with eyes open and closed. The goal was to better understand these connections, which could help guide future therapy approaches.
