Walking and movement training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of physical therapy that focuses on walking and everyday movements to help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve their ability to walk and move around more easily. The therapy includes specific exercises that are tailored to your child's needs, which may help them become more independent in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a confirmed diagnosis of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (stiffness mainly in the legs).

- Your child can walk with or without help, or use a hand-held mobility device (GMFCS levels I to III).
- Your child can stand either on their own or with support.
- Your child does not have any other major health conditions or severe learning or communication difficulties.
