VOJTA therapy for children with ataxic cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special movement therapy called VOJTA technique to help improve balance and coordination in children with ataxic cerebral palsy. It may offer a gentle way to help your child move better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 6 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with ataxic cerebral palsy.
- Your child can move at a level 2 on the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (meaning they can sit but may need help walking).
- Your child has a reflex called ATNR (a natural head-turning response) present.
- Your child has been medically stable for the past 3 months (no hospital stays).
- Your child is not taking muscle relaxants or seizure medicines that affect movement, and does not have other serious health issues like Down syndrome, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, autism, or vision/hearing problems that affect balance.

This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy—Vojta therapy and standard rehabilitation—to see which helps stroke survivors recover better. If you had a recent ischemic stroke, this study could help you improve in a structured, supportive way.
