Sensory Walkway Training for Walking in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special sensory walkway (a textured surface that stimulates the feet) can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy (a condition affecting movement in both legs) walk better and with improved coordination. The goal is to see if this training improves gait patterns and overall walking ability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (affects both legs)
- Your child is between 5 and 7 years old
- Your child walks independently or with a cane/walker, but without needing someone to physically support them
- Your child has mild muscle stiffness (spasticity grade 1 or 1+ on the Modified Ashworth Scale)
- Your child can understand and follow spoken instructions
- Your child has an abnormal walking pattern that needs improvement

This study tests a treatment that uses a gentle electrical current on the scalp (called transcranial direct current stimulation) along with virtual reality exercises to help improve walking and self-esteem in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
This study tests different therapy methods to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. It focuses on improving their walking pattern and may offer a structured program to support your child's movement.
This study tests whether eye movement exercises can improve how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help children who have a crouch gait pattern walk more smoothly and with better balance.
This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
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.
This study compares two types of walking exercises to see which one better improves how children with cerebral palsy walk. It may help your child walk more evenly and with less effort.
