Posture study in sitting for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures the way a child’s pelvis and spine sit and hold posture while seated. It is meant to improve understanding of posture needs in children with cerebral palsy and help guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 4 and 17 years old
- Have cerebral palsy at a higher support level (GMFCS III, IV, or V)
- You (parent/guardian) can give written informed consent (or the child can if able)
- Be covered by a health insurance plan
- Have no history of spinal surgery
- Not currently enrolled in another treatment-focused research study

This study looks at children ages 2 to 10 who have severe, long-term cerebral palsy to better understand this condition. It may help clinicians learn what to expect and how to support children with the most significant mobility needs.
This study looks at how surgery for a curved spine (scoliosis) affects nutrition and metabolism in people with cerebral palsy. It may help understand if the surgery changes how the body uses food.
This study follows children with cerebral palsy who cannot walk (severe type) and have hip displacement, to see how hip treatment affects long-term outcomes. You may be asked your child’s caregivers to complete a questionnaire so researchers can compare results over time.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
This study measures how your spine and pelvis line up in everyday standing and walking, using multiple types of measurements. It aims to better understand adult spinal deformity and how it affects body mechanics—information that may help plan future care.
This study looks at bone density in children with cerebral palsy to understand bone health better. It aims to help find ways to prevent fractures or other bone problems.
