Lower limb therapy for children with unilateral cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy called constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for the legs in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. It aims to improve leg function by encouraging use of the affected leg through structured exercises and activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A diagnosis of unilateral cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body)
- Age between 5 and 15 years old
- Able to stand up from sitting and walk at least 10 meters (with or without help)
- No leg surgery or botox injections in the last 6 months
- No stiff joint problems that prevent movement

This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
This study compares three types of therapy for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach helps improve movement and function.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy to help children with spastic cerebral palsy use their affected side better. Children will either practice with the affected hand through special exercises or use mirror therapy, which uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement.
This study tests different therapy methods to improve walking patterns in children with cerebral palsy who have tight leg muscles. It aims to find the best way to help your child walk more smoothly and confidently.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
