Exercise program for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old.
- You have spastic cerebral palsy (tight or stiff muscles).
- You are at GMFCS level III or IV – for example, you walk with a walker or use a wheelchair but can move yourself.
- You have not had major leg surgery in the past year, or Botox injections in the past 3 months.
- You are able to follow simple instructions and take part in exercise activities.

This trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with cerebral palsy who have tightness on one side. It's for kids ages 6 to 8 who can walk but have mild muscle stiffness.
This study compares two types of exercise programs to see which one helps children with cerebral palsy move better. One program focuses on leg strength and endurance, while the other focuses on practicing real-life tasks.
This study tests a home-based exercise program with feedback to help teenagers and young adults with cerebral palsy improve their movement and reach personal goals. It's designed for people who are motivated to work on their motor skills.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a cuff to reduce blood flow) to strength training can improve muscle strength and function in young children with cerebral palsy.
This trial studies whether special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) can help children with cerebral palsy improve their lung strength and overall function. It is for kids aged 4 to 12 who have spastic diplegia or hemiplegia and can walk with some help.
