Pully system for kids with hemiplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pulley exercise system can improve arm and hand function in children ages 3 to 7 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help them gain more movement and strength in their affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 3 to 7 years old
- Diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (paralysis on one side of the body)
- Able to follow simple instructions and do exercises
- Have problems moving their arm or hand due to this condition
- No other major brain or nerve conditions, no recent arm surgery (in past 6 months), and no similar therapy in the past 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether special pulley-based exercises can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in children. Children with mild spasticity (grade 1 on a standard scale) who can follow instructions may participate.
This study tests whether a type of exercise called plyometric training (jumping and hopping) can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children who have mild spasticity and can walk on their own.
This study compares two types of arm and hand exercises (horizontal vs. vertical movements) for children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to see which type helps improve upper body function the most.
This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
This study looks at how arm and hand function affects daily activities in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to help understand how to improve participation in everyday tasks.
This study tests whether a robotic hand device can help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body) improve their hand strength and ability to do everyday tasks like picking things up or writing. The therapy involves using a special robotic glove or device to guide and support hand movements.
