Primary Outcomes (1)

• Presence of falls

  This study aims to assess presence of falls)in children with cerebral palsy and compare it to healthy controls. By examining factors such as fall location, timing, injury occurrence, and rehabilitation status, the study seeks to identify specific fall risks and patterns in children with cerebral palsy. This data will provide insights for developing targeted interventions to reduce fall frequency and improve safety in this population.
