ViBandz study for children with movement problems
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device called ViBandz that gives gentle vibrations to help children with neurologic conditions move better. It is for children who are already scheduled to receive this type of vibration therapy as part of their regular care at Children's Mercy Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is 6 months to 17 years old.
- Child has a neurologic condition that causes abnormal movement in at least one arm or leg (e.g., cerebral palsy, brain injury).
- Child has an upcoming physical therapy or occupational therapy appointment at Children's Mercy Hospital where they will get targeted focal vibration as part of their regular care.
- Child is not a ward of the state.
- Parent or legal guardian speaks English.

This study tests whether a gentle vibrating device applied to the legs can improve walking and balance in children with cerebral palsy. It may help reduce muscle tightness and make moving easier.
This trial tests whether adding a special vibration device to an intensive rehab program helps improve balance in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. If you are between 18 and 65 and have mild to moderate leg weakness, you may be able to join.
This study tests a treatment called Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (VCR) to see if it can help people with early-stage Parkinson’s disease. It includes virtual check-ins and likely uses brain and finger sensation testing to monitor effects over time.
This trial studies a special vibration-based therapy (“vibrotactile coordinated reset”) to help improve movement after stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is long-term and you have ongoing arm and leg weakness, but no major issues that could affect safety or testing.
This study tests whether a special vibrating platform can help improve walking in children with cerebral palsy. It may help strengthen muscles and coordination.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations on knee muscles can improve how your brain senses knee movement, which may help you move better. It is for healthy adults who want to see if this non-invasive treatment boosts motor performance.
