Fall frequency in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares how often children with cerebral palsy fall versus healthy children. It aims to understand fall risks better so families and doctors can take steps to prevent falls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 5 to 12 years old.
- You have cerebral palsy (to be in the study group) or you are a healthy child without cerebral palsy (to be in the control group).
- You can walk, either on your own or with help (like using a walker or crutches), both indoors and outdoors.
- You or your parent or guardian has given permission to take part.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 reliable (consistent) the way doctors classify walking patterns in children with spastic cerebral palsy is. It only uses existing walking data already collected at the Karolinska Hospital, so no new visits or tests are needed.
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.
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 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.
