Summary

This trial aims to improve breathing in those with cerebral palsy, using a non-invasive sensor to detect respiratory distress and investigate the link with scoliosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with severe cerebral palsy, specifically those who are classified at GMFCS levels IV or V, indicating they have significant physical limitations. The study aims to help detect respiratory issues and understand the link between lung function and scoliosis in these patients.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new non-invasive respiratory sensor called pneuRIP. It's designed as a screening tool to identify breathing difficulties in kids with cerebral palsy and to explore how their lung health relates to spine curvature caused by scoliosis.
What are the potential side effects?
Since pneuRIP is a non-invasive sensor used for monitoring purposes, there are no direct side effects associated with its use. However, participation may involve some discomfort due to wearing the device.
