Gait training with biofeedback for children with hemiplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special walking training that uses sensors and feedback to help children with hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body) improve their walking. 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 must be between 7 and 12 years old.
- Your child should have mild spasticity (muscle stiffness) rated as 1 or 1+ on a standard scale.
- Your child should be able to walk without any walking aid, like a cane or walker.
- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions.
- Your child should not have had any surgery on their legs or any botox injections in the last 6 months.

This study compares two types of muscle training to see which one helps children with cerebral palsy improve arm movement, range of motion, and daily function. The training might help your child use their affected arm more easily.
This study tests whether combining weight-bearing exercises with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (a mild electrical current that helps muscles move) can improve balance and everyday functional abilities in children aged 6–10 who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body). It may help improve mobility and independence.
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 hand and arm therapies for children with cerebral palsy: one that focuses on intensive use of the affected hand, and another that trains the unaffected side to build strength on both sides. It aims to see which approach better improves movement and daily 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.
