Task training vs circuit training for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs to improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It tests whether practicing everyday tasks is better than group circuit training for building strength and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (tightness in all four limbs).
- Your child is between 7 and 12 years old.
- Your child can walk with or without a walker (GMFCS level II or III).
- Your child has mild to moderate leg tightness (Modified Ashworth Scale 1 to 1+).
- Your child can follow simple instructions and has no uncontrolled medical issues (like seizures).

This study tests if a special electrical stimulation therapy, used during specific tasks, can improve arm and hand control in children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to help kids with moderate to severe motor challenges gain better use of their upper limbs.
This trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
This trial tests a special exercise program (Universal Exercise Unit) plus task-focused training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking, balance, and daily activities.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program can improve health and well-being in children with mild cerebral palsy. It compares them with typically developing children who are not already in a regular exercise routine.
