Spinal mobility exercises for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy—standard NDT-Bobath therapy and fun video-game-based exercise—to see which better improves spinal mobility in children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. Your child may benefit from learning how these approaches affect movement and flexibility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be able to stand on their own and follow simple instructions.
- Your child should have mild to moderate motor limitations (classified as GMFCS levels I–III).
- Your child must not have had video-game-based therapy before.
- Your child must not have implanted electronic devices, acute infections, or metabolic disorders that affect body measurements.
- No orthopedic surgery in the past year, no seizures in the past six months, and no severe spinal curvature (scoliosis over 40 degrees).

This study compares three ways to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement: playing active video games with biofeedback, playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most engaging for kids.
This trial tests whether playing virtual reality games, designed as part of a rehab program, can help improve movement and daily skills in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). It may be a fun and engaging way to support physical therapy.
This study tests fun virtual reality workout games to help children with cerebral palsy get more physical activity. If it works, it could make exercise more enjoyable and improve your child's health.
This study tests whether special 'brain gym' exercises help improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on kids with mild spasticity on one side of the body, and may help improve their daily function.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
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.
