Robotic glove training for hand function in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special robotic glove helps children with unilateral cerebral palsy improve hand movement and strength. Children wear the glove while doing hand exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be between 5 and 12 years old.
- They should have mild to moderate wrist tightness, not severe.
- They must be able to pick up and let go of objects with the affected hand, though it may be a bit hard.
- They need to understand simple spoken instructions.
- No fractures, joint stiffening, fixed deformities, or serious vision/hearing problems.
- No arm or hand surgery or Botox injections in the last 6 months.

This study tests whether a robotic hand device can help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body) improve their hand strength and ability to do everyday tasks like picking things up or writing. The therapy involves using a special robotic glove or device to guide and support hand movements.
This study tests whether special robotic training can help children with weakness on one side of the body improve hand movement, grip strength, and sense of position. The robot may make therapy fun and help the brain relearn how to move the affected hand.
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 a special, intensive hand and arm strength training program for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to see if this training improves how they use their upper limbs in 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.
