ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special exercise system, called the pully system, can help manage spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity is a condition where muscles are stiff and tight, making movement difficult. The researchers want to find out if using this pully system for exercise can improve the way these muscles function in kids with cerebral palsy.

To be part of this study, children must be between 6 months and 3 years old and have specific levels of muscle tightness, which will be assessed using a standard scale. They also need to be able to understand basic instructions and have no major physical or mental challenges that would prevent them from participating. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will use the pully system for exercises, while the other will receive regular supportive therapy without the pully system. The trial is not yet recruiting, but those who join can expect to participate in a 3-month physical therapy program, with evaluations before and after to see how well the treatments worked.
