Kinesiotherapy machine for leg stiffness and walking in neurological patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a passive kinesiotherapy machine can improve leg stiffness (spasticity) and walking ability in people with neurological conditions like stroke or cerebral palsy. It may help those who have trouble moving their legs due to tight muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have muscle stiffness or tightness in your legs (spasticity) from a neurological condition like a stroke or cerebral palsy.
- You are able to sign a consent form, or have a caregiver who can sign for you.
- For children: You must be between 8 and 13 years old.
- You are not currently unstable due to heart, nerve, or muscle problems that would prevent using the machine or testing walking.
- You can understand simple instructions to follow the study protocol.

This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
This trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
This study compares three types of physical therapy for children with cerebral palsy: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach best improves walking and movement.
