Understanding pelvic and spinal positioning in sitting children with 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 observational study focuses on children with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility, specifically those classified as GMFCS III, IV, and V. It aims to investigate the sagittal pelvic statics in the sitting position, which has been underexplored despite its importance for these children. By standardizing the method for performing pelvic-spinal radiographs in this position, the study seeks to enhance the reliability of monitoring spinal statics and prevent deformities. The findings could lead to improved follow-up care and management strategies for affected children.
