Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows improved mobility and balance in children with cerebral palsy, suggesting effective interventions.

Key Points

  • The intervention group improved walking speed by a mean of 7.4 units after a 12-week program.
  • Data showed significant improvement in the Gross Motor Function Measure score with a mean increase of 16.8 units in the training group.
  • The study utilized a randomized controlled trial design to compare outcomes between gait training and control groups.
  • This research highlights that combining gait training and balance exercises may enhance mobility outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.
