Motor imagery and daily function in diplegic cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether imagining movements (motor imagery) can help improve everyday skills like walking and playing in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It compares the effects of motor imagery training with standard physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well people with type 2 diabetes can imagine movements, sense their body, and think clearly. It aims to understand how these abilities are affected by diabetes.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy imagine movements and how that relates to their actual movement skills. It may help doctors design better therapies.
This trial tests whether a special training that combines mental imagery and sensory activities can improve muscle strength and coordination in children who have tight muscles in their legs. It is for children who can walk on their own or with some help.
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 trial tests if thinking about movements (motor imagery) can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a non-drug way to manage symptoms.
This study tests whether imagining arm movements (without actually moving) can help improve arm function in people recovering from stroke. Participants will practice visualizing movements to see if it helps restore strength and control in their affected arm.
