Official title

Physical Therapy Program for Selective Motor Control

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The goal of this intervention study is to learn whether a physical therapy exercise camp called will improve leg movement (motor control) and functional ability in children with spastic CP who are between 5 and 18 years. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the ability to move the knee at high velocities improve? * Does function such as walking, running, hopping, climbing stairs improve? * Will the brain tracts that control movement change? * Will children who have better independent control of joint motion improve more? All participants will: * Attend 15 sessions of an exercise camp for 3 hours per day * Perform a home exercise program after the camp ends Measurements: * Lower extremity selective motor control * Knee muscle strength at high speeds using an exercise machine * Gross motor function * Gait analysis (walking patterns) * Parent's perception of their child's ability and their satisfaction with that ability * Change in brain motor tracts using a scanner (MRI) for participants that meet the inclusion criteria for MRI MRI measurements will be taken twice (before and immediately after the treatment). All other measurements and will be taken 3 times (before, immediately after the treatment and approximately 4 months after the treatment).
