Eye exercises to help children with cerebral palsy walk better
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if specific eye movement exercises can improve walking patterns for children aged 4–6 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to help those who can already walk independently with a crouched gait pattern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 4 and 6 years old.
- You have cerebral palsy affecting both legs (spastic diplegia) and your walking pattern is a crouch gait.
- You can walk without help from another person.
- Your spasticity is mild (grade 1 or 1+ on a standard scale).
- You have clear vision and no previous eye surgeries or squint.

This study tests whether special balance and movement exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy affecting the legs) improve their posture and how much energy they use when moving. The therapy focuses on retraining the body's balance system.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
This trial tests whether children with spastic diplegia (tightness affecting both legs) can improve their walking and balance by watching and copying movements demonstrated by a therapist or video. The goal is to help children walk more naturally and move more easily.
This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
This study tests whether a special sensory walkway (a textured surface that stimulates the feet) can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy (a condition affecting movement in both legs) walk better and with improved coordination. The goal is to see if this training improves gait patterns and overall walking ability.
