The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the biomechanical factors underlying the beneficial changes in children with cerebral palsy after using individually-adapted stand-on ride-on power mobility devices (PMD).
The main questions we aim to answer are:
Children ages 4-6 years old with cerebral palsy (GMFCS levels II and III) will:
Researchers will compare pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements to quantify improvements in balance, muscle activation, and mobility.

| Stand-on ride-on power mobility device | Device | Children will receive the adapted toy car (individually-adapted stand-on PMD) to take home and use for three months. PMD will be used at their house and familiar environments to the family (e.g., neighborhood, parks, schools). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Center of pressure sway area, standing | Measure of balance control during independent standing | Baseline, Pre (3 months post Baseline), Post (3 months post Pre) |

| Thigh muscle co-contraction (quadriceps:biceps femoris) | Agonist-antagonist muscle efficiency during functional tasks (e.g., sit-to-stand, independent static standing). | Baseline, Pre (3 months post Baseline), Post (3 months post Pre) |
| Center of pressure sway area, sit-to-stand |
