Leg therapy for children with one-sided weakness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 6 to 8 years old
- Mild to moderate muscle tightness in the leg
- Able to walk independently but with some difficulty
- Balance score between 41 and 56 on a special scale
- Able to follow simple instructions

This study tests a special light-tracking activity to help children with spastic hemiplegia (tightness on one side) improve their movement. It's for kids ages 4–7 who can walk and have mild muscle tightness.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy to help children with spastic cerebral palsy use their affected side better. Children will either practice with the affected hand through special exercises or use mirror therapy, which uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement.
This study tests whether special balance and movement exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy affecting the legs) improve their posture and how much energy they use when moving. The therapy focuses on retraining the body's balance system.
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.
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 trial tests whether children with spastic diplegia (tightness affecting both legs) can improve their walking and balance by watching and copying movements demonstrated by a therapist or video. The goal is to help children walk more naturally and move more easily.
