Clinical Study ID

NCT06548295
MSRSW/Batch-Fall22/733
  • Ages 40-70
  • All Genders

Study Summary

"Cerebral palsy (CP) affects gross motor function variably, with the spastic type notably impacting movement, coordination, and balance. Research highlights that spastic CP, characterized by muscle stiffness, can severely hinder activities like walking and running.

Study Description

Interventions such as gait training and vibrational therapy have shown promise in enhancing muscle function and body movements. A new device, EKKO, uses vibrational waves based on Neurotransmission Cognitive Theory to improve gross motor skills in children with CP by applying mechanical vibrations to nerve points. This study aims to compare the efficacy of EKKO therapy with traditional conservative treatments (such as range of motion exercises and balance training) in improving gross motor function in children with CP. Conducted over six months with randomized controlled trials, the research seeks to provide evidence-based insights into optimizing rehabilitation strategies for better motor performance and quality of life for CP patients.
