Power mobility training for arm and hand function in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a ride-on toy (power mobility training) can help children with cerebral palsy improve the use of their weaker arm and hand. It's designed for children who have clear differences in how well they use one side of their body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Significantly less use of one arm and hand
- Can get on and off a ride-on toy with minimal help
- Can sit and balance well enough to use the toy safely
- Good enough vision to drive the toy safely
- Must have their own well-fitting bicycle helmet
