Trunk training for children with cerebral palsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a home-based trunk exercise program using a tablet or computer for children with cerebral palsy. It may help improve sitting balance and trunk control.

- Has trunk control issues (classified as level 1–3 on a standard scale)

This trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
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 tests an activity-based walking program for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk much or at all. The program uses a harness system to support the child while they practice walking. The goal is to see if this therapy helps improve mobility.
This study tests whether walking on a treadmill with body weight support helps improve motor development in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. It's a training program that may help with movement and coordination.
This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
