Official title: Effect of Soccer Play in Children With Cerebral Palsy

  1. To figure out the effect of soccer play (once a week for 8 weeks) on pulmonary function in children with cerebral palsy
  2. To find out if the leisure activity (soccer) increase the quality of life, motor function, gait function etc..
  3. Safety of soccer play in children with cerebral palsy
Read the detailed description
  1. 1 hr of play once a week for 8 weeks of soccer program was done in the experimental group.
  2. Both the experimental and control group were children with ambulatory cerebral palsy aged 5 to 12 years.
  3. Several outcomes were measured before and after the program
  • pulmonary function test including FVC, FEV1
  • GMFM-88, PBS, walking test, muscle power sprint test, timed up and go, gait parameters
  • Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50)
  • KIDSCREEN
  1. An accelerometer was worn before the program and during the program for a week (experimental group only)

    Measured: before and after the program, up to 10 weeks interval

  2. Change of balance after soccer program1

    Pediatric balance scale (PBS)

    Measured: before and after the program, up to 10 weeks interval

  3. Change of balance after soccer program2

    timed up and go test (second)

    Measured: before and after the program, up to 10 weeks interval

  4. Change of anaerobic test after soccer program

    Measured: before and after the program, up to 10 weeks interval

  5. Change of physical activity with soccer program

    wear an accelerometer for a week

    Measured: before and during the program (about 3-4 weeks interval)

  6. Change of QOL (parents)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing soccer play program in people with Cerebral Palsy, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of FVC after soccer program (time frame: before and after the program, up to 10 weeks interval). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jun 2019.
