New ways to study movement in kids with movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cerebral palsy or are a healthy volunteer ages 5 to 25.
- You can walk on a treadmill for at least 1 minute (you can hold the rails).
- Your knee can bend at least 50 degrees (like a right angle).
- Your ankle or wrist must also move enough (at least 40 or 50 degrees).
- No other major health issues like uncontrolled seizures or pregnancy.

This study uses brain and muscle activity recordings while you do simple repeated movements. It may help researchers understand how brains work during movement in people with certain childhood injuries that affect walking and arm/leg control.
This study looks at how safely using a pediatric robotic exoskeleton over the long term can improve how children walk. It’s for children ages 3–17 who have certain movement or spine-related conditions and who can meet walking and joint-movement requirements.
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 looks at how well children with spastic cerebral palsy can coordinate their movements and keep their balance. It may help find new ways to improve movement and prevent falls.
This study tests a smartphone app that measures how children with cerebral palsy move. It aims to see if the app can accurately track motor abilities, which could help doctors and families monitor progress more easily.
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.
