Spastic diplegia

This study tests whether Cuevas Medek Exercises can improve posture and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. 54 children will be randomly assigned to either the new exercises or standard therapy. The goal is to see if these exercises help children control their body p…

This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and the Bobath method—in 58 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal is to see which therapy better improves motor skills, balance, and trunk control over 12 weeks. Children will be asse…

This study tests whether dynamic surface exercise training (exercises on unstable surfaces like physio balls) can improve mobility, balance, and coordination in children aged 5-8 with diplegic cerebral palsy. 14 children will be randomly assigned to either the dynamic surface exe…

This study tests a therapy called HABIT-ILE, which uses structured hand and leg exercises, to see if it can improve both motor skills and cognitive functions like memory and attention in children with spastic cerebral palsy. 42 children will receive 90 hours of therapy and be com…

This pilot study tests whether a 10-week treadmill training program combined with blood flow restriction (using cuffs on the legs) can safely improve walking speed in 13 children aged 8 to 18 with cerebral palsy. The children will walk on a treadmill three times a week, gradually…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS, when combined with standard rehabilitation, can improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The study will include 20 children aged 5 to 18…

This study tests whether adding a sensory walkway to standard physical therapy can improve walking in children aged 5-7 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. 44 participants will either receive conventional therapy alone or conventional therapy plus sensory walkway training for t…

This study tests a new therapy called MOBILE to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. Fourteen children will try the therapy for 30 hours over 6 weeks. The goal is to see if the therapy is acceptable and helpful for children and families in a community setting.

This study tests whether simple brain gym exercises—like drinking water, cross crawls, and deep breathing—can improve balance and quality of life in children aged 6 to 8 with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy. Forty-four children will be split into two groups: one doing …

This study tests whether adding playful nerve-gliding activities to standard physical therapy can improve hand grip strength and dexterity in children with cerebral palsy. About 34 children aged 6-12 will be split into two groups: one gets routine therapy plus play-based hand exe…

This study is looking at whether the brains and spinal cords of adults with cerebral palsy shrink or change over time, which might explain why some people lose function as they age. Researchers will collect and compare past and new MRI scans from 30 adults with CP across the U.S.…

This study looks at whether a child's ability to imagine movements is connected to how well they walk, balance, and move in daily life. Researchers will test 99 children with diplegic cerebral palsy aged 5 to 18. No treatment is given; the goal is simply to understand the relatio…
