Robotic glove training for hand function in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether training with a robotic glove can improve hand function in children with cerebral palsy. It might help your child gain better control and use of their hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 5 and 12 years old.
- Mild to moderate tightness (spasticity) in the wrist flexor muscles.
- Can grasp and release objects with the affected hand.
- Can follow simple instructions.
- No recent fractures, fixed joint deformities, or severe contractures in the arm.
- No vision or hearing problems, and no surgery or botox in the last 6 months.

This study tests whether robotic hand therapy can improve hand function and dexterity in children with cerebral palsy. It involves using a robotic device to assist hand movements, which may help with daily tasks.
This study tests whether robot-assisted hand therapy can improve hand movement, grip strength, and joint position sense (proprioception) in children with hemiplegia. It aims to make daily activities easier for your child.
This study compares two types of hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. One therapy uses only constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to encourage use of the weaker hand, and the other adds a robotic glove to help with hand movements. The goal is to see which one works better for improving hand function.
This study tests two types of physical therapy to help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve the use of their arms and hands. The treatments focus on stretching and coordination exercises, and they may help your child with daily activities.
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
This study tests whether playing with a social robot can help improve arm and hand skills in children with cerebral palsy. It may be a fun way to support therapy and daily activities.
