Sensory therapy for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a sensory integration therapy to help children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy improve movement and daily function. It may help your child gain better control and ease of movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Has a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I to III (can walk with or without help)
- Able to follow simple instructions
- No recent major surgery on the arm or leg

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 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 compares two types of therapy—sensory integration therapy (which uses activities to help the brain process movement and touch) and conventional physical therapy—to see which better improves movement and motor skills in children with athetoid cerebral palsy (a type of cerebral palsy affecting smooth, controlled movement).
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
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 compares two types of physical therapy to see which one improves movement and function in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to find the best approach to help your child move and do daily activities more easily.
