Clinical Trial: Targeted Muscle Activation During Strength Training for Children With CP

U.S., Sept. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07800221) titled 'Targeted Muscle Activation During Strength Training for Children With CP' on Aug. 24.

Brief Summary: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children and is associated with muscle weakness, spasticity, and impaired motor control. These impairments often lead to compensatory movement strategies, in which other muscles are recruited or movements are adapted to offload weaker target muscles. Although lower limb strengthening is widely used to improve motor function in children with CP, outcomes remain inconsistent. One potentially important but rarely examined factor is whether the intended muscles are ac...
