The purpose of this study was to determine:
With the decline of mobility comes a drastic increase in falling. However, people of all ages with cerebral palsy can fall easily due to imbalance issues and non-voluntary movements. Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) can experience a variety of sensorimotor impairments that impact balance, making excessive tripping and falling among the most common concerns for ambulatory individuals with CP. Approximately 53-97% of ambulatory individuals fall at least once per year, causing injury, embarrassment, frustration, activity avoidance, and isolation. Although a study of over 1000 children found fall frequency was highest in gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level II, research has not explored if this holds across the decades of adulthood.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
will receive selected traditional physical therapy program for improve balance and decrease risk of falling only.
Device: Transcranial direct current stimulation · Other: Exercise
will receive transcranial direct current stimulation plus selected traditional physical therapy program.
Other: Exercise
Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain.
Also known as: transcranial, TcDc
selected traditional physical therapy program for improve balance and decrease risk of falling
Also known as: traditional
The Fall Risk test
The fall risk test allowed identification of potential fall candidates. Test results were compared to age dependent normative data. Scores higher than normative values suggested more fall risk index
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

Started Dec 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2025, 2 months after the start.
Of 902 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 921 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
