Dynamic movement intervention for children with spastic diplegia

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of a dynamic movement intervention on improving balance, walking patterns, and overall mobility in children aged 4 to 7 years with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The intervention focuses on enhancing both static and dynamic balance, as well as the quality of step length and cadence during walking. Participants will be assessed based on their ability to walk independently short distances and climb stairs with support, ensuring they meet specific inclusion criteria related to their physical capabilities and medical stability.
