Leg therapy for children with one-sided weakness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system 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 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 exercising the strong side (called cross-education) can improve strength, control, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. If your child qualifies, they would take part in a supervised training program.
This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
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 robot-assisted hand therapy can improve hand movement, grip strength, and joint position sense (proprioception) in children with hemiplegia. It aims to make daily activities easier for your child.
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.
