Hip brace and exercise for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special hip brace plus exercise helps improve walking, balance, and reduce muscle tightness in children with cerebral palsy. It's designed for children who can walk a bit but may have trouble with hip stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 16 years old.
- They have cerebral palsy (spastic type, affecting one or both sides).
- They can walk at least 10 meters (with or without a walker or crutches).
- They have not had Botox injections in the legs in the last 6 months.
- They are not taking medicine for muscle stiffness or seizures.

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 trial tests if augmented reality, a technology that overlays digital images on the real world, can help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and motor skills through fun, guided exercises.
This study tests a robotic exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. The device supports the legs during walking, and the goal is to see if it can improve movement and daily life.
This trial tests if a fast, gentle stretching technique can reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It may be an option for children who are already planning to receive Botox injections for tight calf muscles.
This trial tests a therapy called constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for the legs in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. It aims to improve leg function by encouraging use of the affected leg through structured exercises and activities.
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.
