Muscle and tendon health study in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle and tendon health in people with spastic cerebral palsy who are mildly to severely affected. It involves using a special running frame to see how it affects the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have spastic cerebral palsy (not other types like ataxic or dyskinetic)
- You are between 14 and 30 years old
- Your movement is at GMFCS level I, II, III, or IV (able to walk with or without help or use a wheelchair)
- You can understand and follow simple instructions and communicate well
- You have good enough vision to move around safely
- You have less than 15 hours of experience with a Frame Runner (a special walking or running bike)
- You have not had orthopedic surgery in the last 12 months or Botox injections in the last 6 months

This study looks at whether Frame Running—a special bike activity—helps children and teens with cerebral palsy or other movement disabilities stay active and involved in their communities. Researchers want to see if regular Frame Running training improves participation and exercise for young people.
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
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 trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program can improve health and well-being in children with mild cerebral palsy. It compares them with typically developing children who are not already in a regular exercise routine.
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.
