Power wheelchair training for toddlers with motor delays
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.

This study tests whether different amounts of early powered mobility training (using a small motorized device) can help toddlers with motor delays become more active and independent. If your child is 1–3 years old and has trouble walking, they may be able to join.
This study tests whether giving young children with cerebral palsy a powered wheelchair or similar device at a young age can help them explore and learn. Parents, therapists, and children work together at home and in early childhood settings.
This study tests whether using a ride-on toy can help children with cerebral palsy improve how they use their arms and hands. Kids get to practice moving and playing while sitting on a motorized toy.
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.
This study tests a program combining mindful movement and game-based exercises to help children with developmental delay improve their motor skills, balance, and walking. It is designed for children ages 9–11 who have some challenges with movement but can follow instructions.
