Robotic sitting and reaching training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a robotic therapy that helps children with cerebral palsy practice sitting balance and reaching safely. It may improve how well your child can control posture and move during functional tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between ages 6 and 17
- Your child has cerebral palsy affecting both sides (diplegia, triplegia, or quadriplegia)
- Your child needs support for walking/sitting that fits levels III or IV
- Your child can sit for 5 seconds with trunk support (between the mid-ribs and pelvis)
- Your child can understand and follow simple instructions (like hand safety or reaching a toy)
- Your child does NOT have absent head control or major spinal curvature that is severe
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether a robotic device can help children with cerebral palsy improve control of their head and neck. It is designed for children who need significant help with mobility and do not have other serious medical issues.
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 trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training improves movement and mobility in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. It may help strengthen muscles and improve walking ability, which can make daily activities easier.
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
This study tests a home-based trunk exercise program using a tablet or computer for children with cerebral palsy. It may help improve sitting balance and trunk control.
