ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to compare two types of balance training for children who have developmental delay (DD). The study will focus on how task-specific balance training and basketball-based training can help improve balance and motor skills in children aged 5 to 12. Researchers want to find out which type of training might be more effective in helping these children move and balance better.

To participate in this study, children must be between 5 and 12 years old, have a diagnosis of developmental delay, and be able to follow instructions. The trial is open to both boys and girls, but children with certain conditions—like serious neurological issues, physical deformities, or visual and hearing impairments—won't be eligible. If your child participates, they will be involved in activities designed to improve their balance and motor skills, and this could be a fun way for them to learn and grow. The trial is not yet recruiting, so there’s time to consider the opportunity before it starts.
