Spiral strapping for improving arm use in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special strapping system (like a supportive wrap) for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body. It aims to improve how well they can use their arm and hand in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body (called unilateral spastic cerebral palsy).
- Your child must be between 4 and 15 years old.
- Your child's arm and hand function should be in a certain range (MACS levels I–III), meaning they can handle objects with some help.

- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions and take part in therapy activities.
- Your child must not have had Botox or arm surgery in the last 6 months, and should not have fixed tight joints or severe behavior or seizure problems.
