Implication

Randomized open-label crossover trial investigates trunk control rehabilitation, suggesting enhancements in balance and gait for younger children with cerebral palsy.

Key Points

Participants demonstrated improvements in trunk control after 3 months of rehabilitation focused on trunk activities.
Excessive anterior deceleration of the sternum was identified as a primary outcome, revealing gait control issues in children with CP.
The intervention employs inertial measurement units and pressure sensors to measure motor disorders during gait.
Results from this trial highlight the potential for targeted rehabilitation strategies in addressing early motor disorders in children with CP.
