Motor imagery and movement in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy imagine movements and how that relates to their actual movement skills. It may help doctors design better therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have serious vision, hearing, or attention problems

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 uses an MRI scan and movement measurements to better understand muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. It may help researchers improve how spasticity is evaluated and modeled to support future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain works when children with cerebral palsy in one hand watch or perform goal-directed actions. It could help researchers design better therapies to improve hand function.
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.
