Eye tracking and hand use in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses eye-tracking technology to see how children with cerebral palsy use their eyes and hands together during tasks that involve both hands. It may help improve understanding of motor control and guide future therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions and do visual and two-handed tasks.
- Your child must have cerebral palsy (for the cerebral palsy group).
- Your child must be able to use at least one hand to hold and move objects.
- Your child must have adequate vision, with glasses or contacts if needed.
- Your child must not have severe vision problems (like significant strabismus) or severe cognitive, communication, or behavioral challenges.
- Your child must not have severe joint stiffness, pain, fractures, or uncontrolled epilepsy or other unstable medical conditions.
- A parent or legal guardian must provide written consent, and the child must agree to participate.

This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy on one side of the body use their brains when watching or doing goal-directed actions. It aims to understand brain activity to help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
This study tests whether a virtual visit can assess hand and arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It may help families get care without traveling to a clinic.
This study tests new sensors that track movement while children and teens play a fun game. The goal is to see if these sensors work well for kids with different motor abilities, which could help improve therapy and assistive technology.
This study tests whether small movement sensors can accurately track how much and how well teenagers and young adults with cerebral palsy move during daily life. The results may help doctors better understand movement problems and design better therapies.
This study tests a therapy program that combines intensive hand and arm training with a home practice plan to help children with cerebral palsy use both hands together better. It may improve your child's ability to do everyday tasks.
