Comparing two ankle braces for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ankle-foot braces to see which one helps children with cerebral palsy move better, join in activities, and wear the brace more consistently. It aims to find the best option for improving walking and daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 15 years old
- You have cerebral palsy that mainly affects one side (spastic hemiparesis)
- You can walk and run 10 meters without help
- You can jump with both feet leaving the ground at the same time
- You already use a plastic ankle-foot brace every day that allows your ankle to move
- You are covered by French social security

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a smart ankle brace combined with a medicine called 5-azacitidine can improve walking ability in children with cerebral palsy. The study compares the medicine to a placebo to see if it helps enhance mobility.
This study compares custom-made ankle-foot braces made with a digital 3D printing method versus the traditional plaster cast method. It aims to find out which type is more comfortable and effective for people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury who need a brace to help them walk better.
This study tests whether starting movement exercises early after ankle surgery helps children with spastic cerebral palsy walk better and recover faster. The surgery corrects a tight ankle muscle (equinus deformity), and the trial compares early rehabilitation to standard care.
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.
This study compares three types of therapy for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach helps improve movement and function.
This study tests whether special leg casts (devices that support the lower leg and ankle) can help children with cerebral palsy walk better during rehabilitation training. Researchers will check if the casts are safe, comfortable, and effective at improving walking ability.
