In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This project aims to improve the quality of life and functional outcomes for young non-ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) by investigating the efficacy of an Activities-Based Locomotor Training (AB-LT) program compared to usual care. By targeting the body structures, activities, and participation components of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework, this study seeks to enhance our understanding of neuroplasticity and motor learning in this population, offering a novel approach to rehabilitation. Results from this research will lead to more effective, individualized therapies that improve motor function, reduce disability, and ultimately lower the long-term healthcare needs associated with CP.
