Motor coordination and balance in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 5 to 11 years old.
- They must be able to walk without help (GMFCS Level I).
- They must be at least 3 feet 3 inches tall and weigh at least 44 pounds.
- They must be able to understand and follow simple instructions.
- They must have very mild muscle tightness (score 1 or 1+ on the Modified Ashworth Scale).

This study looks at children with cerebral palsy to understand what affects their range of motion and balance. The results may help improve physical therapy for kids like them.
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 tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with cerebral palsy who have tightness on one side. It's for kids ages 6 to 8 who can walk but have mild muscle stiffness.
This trial compares two types of exercises—trunk stabilization and core stability—to see which better improves balance and walking in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
This study tests whether special balance and movement exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy affecting the legs) improve their posture and how much energy they use when moving. The therapy focuses on retraining the body's balance system.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
