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
