Power2Walk: strength training for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a type of strength training called functional power training for children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps kids be more active and take part in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 12 years old.
- Your child has cerebral palsy or a similar condition that affects movement.
- Your child can walk with or without help (GMFCS levels I to III).
- You or your child have a goal about being more active or joining in activities.
- Your child has not had botox injections in the legs in the last 12 weeks or planned during the study.
- Your child has not had leg surgery in the last 12 months or a back surgery for spasticity in the last 12 months.
- Your child has not had a special power training program in the last 4 months.
- Your child prefers walking as their main way of getting around.

This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
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.
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 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 tests a special, intensive hand and arm strength training program for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to see if this training improves how they use their upper limbs in daily activities.
This study tests whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
