Tracking falls in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how often children with cerebral palsy fall compared to children without the condition. It aims to understand fall risks to help improve safety and support for children with cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 compares two types of walking exercises to see which one better improves how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help your child walk more evenly and with less effort.
This study tests a program that helps infants stand and walk at home. It may help babies with cerebral palsy—or those at high risk—by improving movement and function in a safe, supported way.
