New study links arm function to daily life in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07497100
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 72 children aged 5 to 8 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to see how well they can use their affected arm and how that relates to their participation in everyday activities. Researchers will measure arm movement quality and compare it to how much the children take part in age-expected activities. The goal is to better understand the connection between physical ability and real-world participation.
