Movement and balance in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 study is looking at how common different health problems are in children with cerebral palsy, and which problems often happen together. It may help clinicians plan better care by understanding the most frequent additional needs.
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 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.
