Powered mobility training for toddlers with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special powered wheelchair, called the Explorer Mini, can help young children with cerebral palsy learn to move and explore on their own. It aims to improve their mobility skills and independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 12 and 33 months old when the study starts.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy or be very likely to get one, and have motor skills similar to levels II-IV on a standard scale (GMFCS).
- Your child should be able to sit with or without support for at least 30 minutes while moving.
- Your child is not already using a power wheelchair at home.
- You must be the legal caregiver, be 18 or older, and speak English or Spanish well enough to participate.

This study tests whether using a ride-on toy (power mobility training) can help children with cerebral palsy improve the use of their weaker arm and hand. It's designed for children who have clear differences in how well they use one side of their body.
This trial tests a power wheelchair training system for children with severe cerebral palsy who cannot walk or use a manual wheelchair. It aims to help them move more independently using switches or a joystick.
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 tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
