Telehealth-Supervised Resistance Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Conditions: Cerebral Palsy
Sex: All
Ages: 6 Years – 15 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 50
Sponsor: Hunan Normal University

Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of telehealth-supervised resistance training in ambulatory children aged 6 to 15 years with cerebral palsy (CP) classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is a 12-week telehealth-delivered resistance training program feasible and acceptable for children with CP and their caregivers?
* Can the program improve physical function and psychosocial well-being in this population?
Participants will:
* Take part in three 40-minute, live-streamed resistance training sessions each week for 12 weeks, using elastic bands, sandbag weights, and balance tools
* Complete physical assessments before and after the program, including the 1-minute walk test, 10-meter walk test, 30-second sit-to-stand test, and Pediatric Balance Scale
* Complete quality of life surveys using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™ 3.0 CP Module)
* Have caregivers complete a custom questionnaire about the cost and acceptability of the program
