Core Stability Exercises vs Hippotherapy for Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Sponsor: Riphah International University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Cerebral palsy is associated with impaired balance and trunk control, which affect functional mobility and independence. This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of core stability exercises versus hippotherapy, both combined with conventional physiotherapy, on balance and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. The findings aim to determine which intervention provides greater improvement in functional outcomes.
