Power wheelchair training for toddlers with motor delays
Treatments studied
This study tests whether adding special visual cues (like lights or arrows) to a power wheelchair helps toddlers with motor delays learn to drive it. If your child is between 1 and 3 years old, can't walk on their own, and can reach for toys, they may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 1 to 3 years old

- Your child can stand alone for 2 seconds or with support for up to 10 minutes
- Your child can reach for objects with at least one hand
- Your child is between 69 and 103 cm tall and weighs 7 to 18 kg

This study tests whether using a ride-on toy (power mobility training) can help children with cerebral palsy improve the use of their weaker arm and hand. It's designed for children who have clear differences in how well they use one side of their body.
This trial tests a special motor training program for children with autism who have motor challenges. The training may help improve your child's coordination and movement skills.
This trial tests a power wheelchair training system for children with severe cerebral palsy who cannot walk or use a manual wheelchair. It aims to help them move more independently using switches or a joystick.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
