Body weight supported treadmill training for dyskinetic cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child is between 5 and 12 years old.
- The child has a type of cerebral palsy called dyskinetic cerebral palsy, which involves involuntary movements.
- The child's motor function is at GMFCS level I or II (they can walk, possibly with some limitations).
- The child is able to follow simple instructions.
- The child has not had any past surgeries or major medical procedures.
- The child does not have heart problems, severe intellectual disability, vision or thinking impairments, bone or joint issues, hip dislocation, severe contractures (tight joints), behavioral disorders, recent Botox injections, or uncontrolled epilepsy.

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 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 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 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 study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (called tDCS) can help children with cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia) improve their balance and reduce falls. The goal is to see if it makes walking safer and easier.
