Reliability of gait classification in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how reliable (consistent) the way doctors classify walking patterns in children with spastic cerebral palsy is. It only uses existing walking data already collected at the Karolinska Hospital, so no new visits or tests are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy (not other types like dyskinetic or ataxic).
- Child is between 3 and 18 years old.
- Barefoot walking data from the Karolinska Hospital gait lab must already be available.
- Neither parent objects to using the data for research.
- No Botox injections in the leg muscles within the last 6 months.
- No orthopedic surgery on the legs within the last year.

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 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 compares two types of walking exercises to see which one better improves how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help your child walk more evenly and with less effort.
This trial uses a smartphone app to measure how children with cerebral palsy walk. It aims to see if phone sensors can help doctors better understand gait problems.
This study looks at how often children with cerebral palsy fall compared to children without the condition. It aims to understand fall risks to help improve safety and support for children with cerebral palsy.
This study tests a home-based walking therapy program using special shoe insoles that track your child's walking patterns. The goal is to see if it helps improve walking in children with cerebral palsy.
