Robotic TruST-Postural Intervention for Children With Cerebral Palsy (NCT04897347)
Postural Control Intervention With the Robotic Trunk-Support-Trainer (TruST) in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a motor learning-based postural and reaching control intervention delivered with the robotic Trunk-Support-Trainer (TruST) compared to the same motor learning-based intervention delivered with Static Trunk Support Equipment in children with cerebral palsy (CP) classified as III and IV with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).
