A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two different interventions, rhythmic stabilization and ball balancing, in children aged 5-12 with spastic cerebral palsy. A total of 32 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, with data collected before and after the interventions to assess improvements in motor control and muscle strength. The study will take place at the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital and the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, utilizing SPSS for data analysis.
