Robotic training for neck control in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robotic device can help children with cerebral palsy improve control of their head and neck. It is designed for children who need significant help with mobility and do not have other serious medical issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- Your child must have a GMFCS level of IV or V (meaning they need a wheelchair or significant help to move).
- Your child must not have severe cognitive difficulties that would make it hard to participate.
- Your child must not have uncontrolled seizure activity.
- Your child must not have severe neck or spine problems, like a large curve in the spine.
- Your child must not have received Botox injections for muscle stiffness in the last 3 months.
