Comparing walking robot, water therapy, and standard physiotherapy for children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares three types of physical therapy for children with cerebral palsy: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach best improves walking and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 5 and 15 years old
- Diagnosis of spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (muscle tightness on one side of the body)
- Able to walk at a level that is mostly independent (GMFCS Level I or II)
- Can follow simple instructions and take part in therapy sessions
- No severe heart disease, active infections, or open skin sores on the legs or trunk

This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training improves movement and mobility in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. It may help strengthen muscles and improve walking ability, which can make daily activities easier.
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 compares two types of walking exercises to see which one better improves how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help your child walk more evenly and with less effort.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for children with cerebral palsy to see which might improve movement. One program uses sensory-motor integration, and the other uses virtual reality games.
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy walk compared to healthy children. Researchers use small sensors to measure movement, and the goal is to better understand walking problems.
