About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
"Our study aims to determine which of ankle correction, quadriceps facilitation, and gluteus maximus facilitation taping provides a better immediate effect on balance skills in children with mildly affected cerebral palsy. Children whose parents have given consent for the study will undergo three different taping applications with a one-week interval. After each taping application, a 15-minute waiting period will be observed, followed by balance assessment using the Wii Balance System with eyes open and closed."
