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 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 study looks at whether a specific type of exercise called functional progressive resistive training can improve movement and strength in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It might help your child gain better control and ability in daily activities.
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 new way of strengthening muscles in children with cerebral palsy by targeting specific muscles during exercise. It aims to improve movement and function.
This study tests whether arm or leg exercises with a special band that partly blocks blood flow, combined with strength training, can improve muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young children who have some stiffness on one side and can walk with support.
