Treadmill and vibration therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether treadmill training, with or without whole-body vibration, can improve walking and movement in children with spastic cerebral palsy. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this exercise approach is safe and helpful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy (CP).
- Your walking ability level is GMFCS I, II, or III.
- You are between 6 and 17 years old when the study data are collected.
- You have not had a significant muscle or bone injury in the last 3 months.
- You have not had Botox shots in the lower legs/feet in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether a special vibrating platform can help improve walking in children with cerebral palsy. It may help strengthen muscles and coordination.
This study compares two types of walking exercises to see which one better improves how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help your child walk more evenly and with less effort.
This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
This study tests whether a gentle vibrating device applied to the legs can improve walking and balance in children with cerebral palsy. It may help reduce muscle tightness and make moving easier.
