Walking rehabilitation with leg casts for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a walking rehabilitation program using a special leg cast (called a cruro-malleolar cast) for children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve walking and is comfortable for the child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children must be between 7 and 14 years old.
- Must have cerebral palsy affecting both sides of the body (diplegia or quadriplegia).
- Must be able to walk, with or without a walking aid like a walker.
- No Botox injections in the last 4 months before the study starts.
- Must be willing to wear a special leg cast during walking training and have repeated assessments.
- Must be covered by French social security and not be in another study.

This study tests whether whole body vibration (standing on a gently shaking platform) plus leg casting can help children with cerebral palsy improve ankle flexibility and walking. It is for children who already need casting for tight ankles.
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy walk compared to healthy children. Researchers use small sensors to measure movement, and the goal is to better understand walking problems.
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
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.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
