Balance and movement study in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a child under 18 years old with cerebral palsy
- You can walk independently or with a walker or crutches (GMFCS levels I to III)
- You are able to follow simple instructions for walking tests
- You have not had leg or back surgery in the last year

This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy walk compared to healthy children. Researchers use small sensors to measure movement, and the goal is to better understand walking problems.
This study looks at how well children with spastic cerebral palsy can coordinate their movements and keep their balance. It may help find new ways to improve movement and prevent falls.
This study looks at children with cerebral palsy to understand what affects their range of motion and balance. The results may help improve physical therapy for kids like them.
This trial compares two types of exercises—trunk stabilization and core stability—to see which better improves balance and walking in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
This study measures how muscles work and how well children with mild spastic hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body) can balance. Researchers want to understand muscle properties and balance to help improve movement and function.
