Early powered mobility training for toddlers with motor delays
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether different amounts of early powered mobility training (using a small motorized device) can help toddlers with motor delays become more active and independent. If your child is 1–3 years old and has trouble walking, they may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 3 years old.
- Your child has a motor delay that keeps them from walking on their own (a doctor can confirm this with a standard developmental check).
- Your child can stand on their own for 2 seconds, or can stand with help for about 10 minutes.
- Your child can reach for toys or other objects with one or both hands.
- Your child is between 27 and 41 inches tall and weighs between 15 and 40 pounds.
- You, as a parent or guardian, are willing to commit time to the training and give permission for your child to join.

This study tests whether adding special visual cues (like lights or arrows) to a power wheelchair helps toddlers with motor delays learn to drive it. If your child is between 1 and 3 years old, can't walk on their own, and can reach for toys, they may be a good fit.
This study tests whether giving young children with cerebral palsy a powered wheelchair or similar device at a young age can help them explore and learn. Parents, therapists, and children work together at home and in early childhood settings.
This study tests whether using a ride-on toy can help children with cerebral palsy improve how they use their arms and hands. Kids get to practice moving and playing while sitting on a motorized toy.
This study tests a program combining mindful movement and game-based exercises to help children with developmental delay improve their motor skills, balance, and walking. It is designed for children ages 9–11 who have some challenges with movement but can follow instructions.
This study looks at a program to help infants and toddlers improve their motor skills. It includes educational workshops for parents and educators, and checks on babies' motor development over time. The goal is to catch any delays early and support healthy movement.
This study tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
