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 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 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.
This study tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (FES) with physical therapy helps improve movement and walking in people with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination treatment works better than standard therapy alone.
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.
This study compares two types of exercise programs to improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It tests whether practicing everyday tasks is better than group circuit training for building strength and coordination.
