Exercise Program for Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special exercise program (Universal Exercise Unit) plus task-focused training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking, balance, and daily activities.

This study compares two types of exercise programs to see which one helps children with cerebral palsy move better. One program focuses on leg strength and endurance, while the other focuses on practicing real-life tasks.
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 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 trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
