Pully exercise for managing muscle stiffness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special pulley-based exercises can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in children. Children with mild spasticity (grade 1 on a standard scale) who can follow instructions may participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a muscle stiffness level of 1 on the Modified Ashworth Scale (a measure of spasticity).
- Your child can understand and follow simple instructions.
- Your child does not have any fixed joint deformities.
- Your child has no vision or hearing problems.
- Your child has no problems with perception or thinking (cognitive skills).
- Your child is available for a 3-month physical therapy program with evaluations before and after.

This study tests whether adding electrical stimulation to core strengthening exercises helps improve walking and posture in children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy). It is designed for children aged 4 to 6 with mild muscle stiffness who are already walking well.
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 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 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.
This trial studies a type of spinal cord stimulation to reduce stiffness (spasticity) in people with cerebral palsy that has not responded to usual treatments. If you qualify, the goal is to improve movement and related symptoms like speech problems.
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.
