Suit therapy and dual task exercises for children with CP
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment that combines wearing a special suit with doing two tasks at once (like walking while talking) to help children with diplegic cerebral palsy improve their gross motor skills and walking ability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Child must have been diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy by a doctor.
- Child should have mild to moderate muscle stiffness (score of 1 to 2+ on the Modified Ashworth scale).
- Child must be able to sit on a chair with good balance, understand and follow verbal instructions.
- Child must not have any permanent joint or muscle tightening, severe vision or hearing problems, severe mental disability, recent seizures, or heart or bone problems that would interfere with therapy.

This study tests different therapy methods to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. It focuses on improving their walking pattern and may offer a structured program to support your child's movement.
This study tests whether combining mental and physical exercises (dual-task training) with balance therapy can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy walk better. The treatment involves doing a thinking task while moving, which may improve coordination and balance more than exercise alone.
This study tests a therapy that combines two activities at once to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement and coordination. It may help your child with everyday tasks that require doing two things at the same time.
This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
This study tests whether a special sensory walkway (a textured surface that stimulates the feet) can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy (a condition affecting movement in both legs) walk better and with improved coordination. The goal is to see if this training improves gait patterns and overall walking ability.
This trial tests whether combining functional electrical stimulation (a gentle electric current that helps muscles move) with core strengthening exercises can improve walking and posture in young children with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy. It aims to reduce stiffness and improve balance.
