Continuous passive motion for children with arthrogryposis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests using a continuous-passive-motion device (a machine that gently moves the knee) in children with arthrogryposis after knee surgery. The goal is to see if it helps improve knee movement and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has arthrogryposis (a condition that causes stiff joints).
- Your child must be between 3 and 7 years old.
- Your child has had recent knee surgery.

This trial studies whether a device that gently moves your leg helps recovery after surgery for specific hip or knee fractures. It may help with healing and getting you back to moving more comfortably sooner, compared with not using the device.
This study compares continuous passive motion (a machine that gently moves a joint without you moving it) versus the body’s tendency to form extra bone called heterotopic ossification. It aims to see whether CPM can affect how and how much bone overgrowth develops after neurologic injuries like stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.
This trial tests if using a device called Agilik at home can help children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern. Crouch gait is when knees stay bent while walking, and the Agilik may help improve movement.
This study tests new ways to measure movement (like walking and joint motion) in children and young adults. It's for people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers, to better understand movement differences.
This study tests a device that gently moves your ankle while you are on a breathing machine, to see if it can prevent stiffness and muscle loss in the leg.
This trial tests if a passive kinesiotherapy machine can improve leg stiffness (spasticity) and walking ability in people with neurological conditions like stroke or cerebral palsy. It may help those who have trouble moving their legs due to tight muscles.
