Gait training with biofeedback for children with hemiplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special walking training program using sensors and feedback can improve walking in children with hemiplegia (weakness on one side). It may help your child walk better and more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 12 years old.
- Your child has mild spasticity (tightness) on one side of the body.
- Your child can walk without using a walker, cane, or any other aid.
- Your child can follow instructions and understand simple commands.
- Your child has not had botulinum toxin injections in the legs in the last 6 months.
- Your child has no fixed joint deformities or recent leg surgeries.

This study tests whether a type of exercise called plyometric training (jumping and hopping) can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children who have mild spasticity and can walk on their own.
This study tests whether combining weight-bearing exercises with a mild electrical stimulation (NMES) can improve balance and daily function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help your child build strength and coordination.
This study tests a motor learning program to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their walking. If your child has a walking goal and a caregiver who can help at home, this could be a good fit.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body). It tests whether restricting movement of the stronger arm or training the weaker arm alone works better to improve function.
This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
This study tests whether combining balance training exercises with gentle electrical stimulation can help children with one-sided weakness (hemiparesis) improve their balance and movement control. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard therapy alone.
