Effectiveness of Bobath/Halliwick on Children With Cerebral Palsy 85

Active, not recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT04770298 is an interventional study for Cerebral Palsy that is active, not recruiting. It started on 1 September 2022 with plans to enroll 85 participants. Led by University of Thessaly, it is expected to complete by 5 June 2024. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 28 May 2024.
Brief Summary
Investigation of the effectiveness of water based therapy on children with Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Detailed Description
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was:

To examine the effectiveness of the Halliwick concept intervention in water approach for people with motor deficiency and, more specifically, for children with diagnosed cerebral palsy.

In a second phase, to compare the contribution of water intervention to the child's motor development against just Bobath physiotherapeutic intervention, in terms of the milestone...
