Robotic hand therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child has hemiplegic cerebral palsy (one side of the body is affected).
- The child is between 7 and 15 years old.
- The child can understand and follow simple instructions.
- The child can walk (with or without assistance) and can use their hands for daily activities.
- The child has not had arm surgery, Botox injections, or casting in the last 6 months.

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 whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy to help children with spastic cerebral palsy use their affected side better. Children will either practice with the affected hand through special exercises or use mirror therapy, which uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement.
This study compares two hand therapy techniques to see which one better improves hand coordination in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to help children use their hands more easily in daily activities.
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 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.
