Wearables for arm function in children with hemiparesis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device to help children with unilateral cerebral palsy (weakness on one side) improve how they use their affected arm. It involves weekly sessions and using the device at home to track activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP).
- Your child should be between 3 and 8 years old.
- Your child’s hand use should be at MACS levels I, II, or III (able to handle objects with or without some help).
- Your child must not have had botulinum toxin injections or surgery on the affected arm in the last 6 months.
- Your child should not have major uncontrolled medical issues (like severe epilepsy) and must be able to follow simple instructions.

This study tests if gentle electrical stimulation of the skin on the weaker arm can improve hand function in children who have weakness on one side due to a brain injury before age 16. The results will help understand how the stimulation works and whether it can help with daily activities.
This study tests an AI-based system to help improve arm and hand movement in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It will compare how children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children use their arms to create a personalized rehabilitation plan.
This trial tests a mobile app called HEMImprove 1.0 that helps teens with one-sided cerebral palsy practice arm and hand movements. The goal is to see if using the app improves their ability to use the affected arm.
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve wrist movement in their affected arm. It may offer a new way to strengthen arm function without surgery or needles.
