Task training for movement and daily life in cerebral palsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP affecting one side of the body).
- Your child is between 5 and 12 years old.
- Your child can walk without help or with just a little help (levels I or II on a scale called GMFCS).
- Your child's muscle tightness is mild to moderate (grades 1 or 2 on a scale called Modified Ashworth Scale).
- Your child has not had botulinum toxin injections in the last 6 months, or any leg or spine surgery.
- Your child has no hearing or vision loss, cognitive impairment, seizures, or other bone/joint problems.

This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation with functional training helps improve movement and daily activities in children with cerebral palsy. It may help them move better and do more on their own.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to see which one improves movement and function in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to find the best approach to help your child move and do daily activities more easily.
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
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 trial tests a special exercise program (Universal Exercise Unit) plus task-focused training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking, balance, and daily activities.
This study tests whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
