This trial tests a home-based walking program using virtual reality games to help children with chronic conditions like cerebral palsy, obesity, or neuromuscular disease improve their walking and physical activity. It's designed to see if training at home with VR is effective and enjoyable.
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
This study tests if walking on a treadmill with body weight support helps improve motor skills in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. It could be an option for kids who can already walk but want to get even better.
This study tests whether treadmill training, with or without whole-body vibration, can improve walking and movement in children with spastic cerebral palsy. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this exercise approach is safe and helpful.
This trial tests if exercises that focus on carrying weight and practicing daily tasks can help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy walk better and move more easily in everyday life.
This trial compares Nordic walking (using poles) with treadmill training to see which better improves walking balance and symmetry in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. It aims to find a more effective way to help your child walk more evenly.
