Predicting motor imagery skills in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well children with cerebral palsy can imagine movements (called motor imagery). It aims to find what factors affect this ability, which may help improve therapy approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 18 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy affecting one or both sides of the body.
- You can walk or move with some limitations (GMFCS levels I-II).
- You have good hand function (EBSS levels I-II).
- You have normal or near-normal thinking ability (Mini-Mental score at least 24).

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 whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
This study tests a new way of strengthening muscles in children with cerebral palsy by targeting specific muscles during exercise. It aims to improve movement and function.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy on one side of the body use their brains when watching or doing goal-directed actions. It aims to understand brain activity to help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether imagining movements (motor imagery) can help improve everyday skills like walking and playing in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It compares the effects of motor imagery training with standard physical therapy.
This trial tests whether a special training that combines mental imagery and sensory activities can improve muscle strength and coordination in children who have tight muscles in their legs. It is for children who can walk on their own or with some help.
