Brain activity study during repeated movement in some children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses brain and muscle activity recordings while you do simple repeated movements. It may help researchers understand how brains work during movement in people with certain childhood injuries that affect walking and arm/leg control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 5 or older
- Have a childhood-onset brain or nerve (peripheral) injury before age 13 causing movement or feeling problems
- Have been away from surgery on an arm or leg for at least 6 months, and away from botulinum toxin shots for at least 4 months
- Be able to walk at least 20 feet (with or without a walking aid) without stopping
- Be able to understand and follow simple instructions for starting/stopping repetitive tasks
- For testing sessions: avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours beforehand (training sessions may be different)

This study tests new ways to measure movement (like walking and joint motion) in children and young adults. It's for people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers, to better understand movement differences.
This study looks at how people’s arm/hand movement and attention-thinking skills work after brain injury or cerebral palsy. You might be invited to tasks and simple instructions to help researchers understand function and possible support strategies.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy walk compared to healthy children. Researchers use small sensors to measure movement, and the goal is to better understand walking problems.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This study tests whether special 'brain gym' exercises help improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on kids with mild spasticity on one side of the body, and may help improve their daily function.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
