Social robot therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a social robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve movement and communication. It uses a friendly robot in therapy sessions to engage your child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- Your child's movement ability should be at levels I, II, or III on the GMFCS scale (they can walk with or without help).
- Your child's hand and arm function should be at levels 1, 2, or 3 on the MACS scale.
- Your child's communication skills should be at levels 1 or 2 on the CFCS scale (they can communicate effectively or with slight difficulty).
- Your child must not have had epilepsy, Botox in the last 6 months, or upper extremity surgery in the last year.

This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
This study tests whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
This study tests an intensive rehabilitation program for the upper limb (arm and hand) in children and teens with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve arm function and may help your child gain more control and independence.
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 whether a robotic hand device can help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body) improve their hand strength and ability to do everyday tasks like picking things up or writing. The therapy involves using a special robotic glove or device to guide and support hand movements.
