Pulley exercises for children with one-sided weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special pulley system can improve arm and hand function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. If your child has weakness on one side, this simple exercise-based therapy may help them move better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 3 and 7 years old.
- A neurologist has confirmed the child has hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body).
- Child can follow simple instructions and join in exercise sessions.
- Child has noticeable weakness or limited movement in one arm or hand.
- No surgery on the arm in the last 6 months, and no similar rehab program in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether robot-assisted hand therapy can improve hand movement, grip strength, and joint position sense (proprioception) in children with hemiplegia. It aims to make daily activities easier for your child.
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 exercising the strong side (called cross-education) can improve strength, control, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. If your child qualifies, they would take part in a supervised training program.
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 compares two hand and arm therapies for children with cerebral palsy: one that focuses on intensive use of the affected hand, and another that trains the unaffected side to build strength on both sides. It aims to see which approach better improves movement and daily function.
