Home walking therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 7 and 18 years old and have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- Your child should be able to walk without needing a wheelchair or walker, at level 1 or 2 on the Gross Motor Function Classification System.
- Your child must not have severe foot problems that would make it hard to use the special shoe insoles.
- You and your child must be willing to follow the home therapy program and visit the hospital as needed.

This study uses a special insole you put in your shoe to measure how you walk. It is for adults who feel their walking or balance is not as good as it used to be. The goal is to learn more about walking patterns so doctors can help people like you.
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 whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
This study tests a motor learning program to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their walking. If your child has a walking goal and a caregiver who can help at home, this could be a good fit.
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 tests a program that helps infants stand and walk at home. It may help babies with cerebral palsy—or those at high risk—by improving movement and function in a safe, supported way.
