Summary
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to learn about the effect of therapeutic climbing in hemiplegic children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does climbing affect muscle strength and tone? What is its connection between normative data drawn from healthy children? How can it affect balance? Participants (children) will be asked to complete an series of movements used in sports climbing, such as inside-flag, back-flag and horizontal traverse, while hanging on an in-door climbing wall.
