Treadmill training for kids with dyskinetic cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if walking on a treadmill with body weight support helps improve motor skills in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. It could be an option for kids who can already walk but want to get even better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 5 to 12 years
- Diagnosed with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (a type of CP with uncontrolled movements)
- Can follow simple instructions
- Classified at GMFCS level I or II (able to walk without help or with some limits)
- No recent surgery, severe medical problems, or uncontrolled seizures

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 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 whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand which treatments are best for improving walking and movement.
This trial tests a treatment for children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern, a forward-tilted pelvis, and weak calf muscles. It uses EMG to check muscle activity and aims to improve walking.
This trial tests if exercises that focus on carrying weight and practicing daily tasks can help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy walk better and move more easily in everyday life.
