Motor imagery and functional movement in diplegic cerebral palsy

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 is a cross-sectional, correlational assessment of children with diplegic cerebral palsy to examine links between their motor imagery skills and real-world function. Children aged 5–18 at GMFCS levels I–III will complete one-on-one assessments after parental consent. Measures include a Motor Imagery Ability Assessment, a Mental Stopwatch Paradigm, standardized functional mobility and gait assessments, and a demographic form. Data will be analyzed to see how imagery performance relates to walking, balance, and mobility outcomes.
