Gait training with feedback for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cerebral palsy affecting both legs and walking
- Your mobility level is around the mid-range (Gross Motor Function level II)
- No lower-limb surgery or leg injuries in the last 12 months
- No botulinum toxin (Botox) injections in the last 3 months
- No past selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery
- You don’t have seizures or heart problems that would make treadmill walking unsafe for 20 minutes, and you’re not currently in pain that limits walking

This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.
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 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.
This study tests a motor learning program to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their walking. If your child has a walking goal and a caregiver who can help at home, this could be a good fit.
This study compares three types of therapy for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach helps improve movement and function.
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training (using a device called Lokomat) can improve how well children and young adults with cerebral palsy can move and walk. It is for people who can walk with some help or use a walker/wheelchair.
