About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience impaired trunk control and balance, which limits functional mobility. Core stability exercises are commonly used in pediatric physical therapy to improve trunk control. Scooter board activities, which challenge trunk stability through dynamic movement, may offer an engaging alternative. This study aims to compare the effects of these two interventions.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Scooter Board ActivitiesTreatment being tested

    Received a designed physical therapy program in addition to scooter board activities.

  • Core Stability ExercisesExisting treatment, for comparison

    Received a designed physical therapy program in addition to core stability exercises.

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
