Spastic hemiplegia

This study tests whether a special type of electrical stimulation, called reciprocal neuromuscular electrical stimulation, can improve balance and quality of life in children aged 6 to 10 with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. The 32 participants will receive either the electrical stim…

This study looks at whether plyometric (jumping) exercises on the less affected leg can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children aged 6-10 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Forty children will either get standard physical therapy alone or standard therapy plus pl…

This pilot study tests whether combining AI-assisted brain stimulation (tDCS) with hand-arm training can improve movement in children aged 6-17 with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Fifteen participants will receive either real or sham stimulation over 5 sessions. The goal is t…

This study compares a robotic glove to standard hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition where one side of the body is weaker. Seventy children aged 7-15 will receive either robotic or conventional therapy for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure hand fu…

This study looks at whether a combined program of 35 hours of therapy plus 15 hours of home practice works as well as 50 hours of standard therapy for improving how children aged 3 to 5 with cerebral palsy use both hands. About 66 children will take part. The goal is to make ther…

This study tests whether an 8-day camp that combines sensory and motor training helps children with unilateral cerebral palsy use their affected hand better than motor training alone. About 26 children aged 5 to 15 will take part. The goal is to improve hand function and daily pa…

This study tests whether a gamified mobile app called HEMImprove 1.0 can help adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy improve their arm function. Thirty-six teens will be randomly assigned to use the app at home or do conventional exercises from a manual, both for 30 minutes a…

This study tests whether adding a robotic glove to standard physical therapy can improve hand function in children aged 5-12 with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Forty children will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional therapy alone or conventional therapy plus …

This study looks at whether adding exergaming (video games that require movement) to standard NDT-Bobath therapy can improve spinal mobility in children aged 10-15 with cerebral palsy. Forty-two participants will be split into two groups: one doing seated exergaming and the other…

This study tests two types of spiral arm straps (TheraTogs and TogRite) to see if they help children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy use their affected arm and hand more effectively. Twenty-seven children aged 4 to 15 will be split into three groups: one gets rehab plus Th…

This pilot study tests whether a home-based telerehabilitation system can help children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and hand function. Twenty-four children aged 6 to 18 will either use a digital therapy kit at home or follow a standard home exercise program. The goa…

This study compares carbon fiber ankle braces to standard plastic ones in 38 children with cerebral palsy aged 8-15. Each child will try both braces for 4 weeks to see which one improves walking, running, and jumping. The goal is to find out which brace helps kids be more active …

This study tests whether a special strengthening and fatigue protocol using an isokinetic dynamometer can improve foot lift strength and walking more than standard rehab after Botox injections. Thirty adults with spastic foot drop will be randomly assigned to either the new proto…

This study will test whether robotic-assisted therapy can improve hand function, grip strength, and wrist position sense in 32 children aged 6-9 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will use a robotic device to perform repetitive, goal-oriented hand exercises. The goal is…

This study will test whether special 'brain gym' exercises can improve thinking abilities and quality of life in 60 children aged 6 to 8 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The children will do these exercises along with standard physical therapy for 30 minutes, three times a…

This study will use artificial intelligence and video analysis to assess how well children with cerebral palsy can walk and move. Researchers will collect data from 200 children aged 4 to 18 who can walk with or without help. The goal is to see if AI can accurately predict mobili…

This study adapts and tests a Spanish version of eTIPS, an early home-based therapy program for infants at risk of unilateral cerebral palsy after perinatal stroke. The program involves parent-delivered activities integrated into daily routines. The study will enroll 20 families …

This study will look at how muscle stiffness and tone relate to balance in children aged 6 to 12 with spastic hemiplegia, a condition where one side of the body is tight and weak. Researchers will use a handheld device to measure muscle properties and a balance system to test sta…

This observational study will check if breathing strength and lung function are linked to hand use in 37 children aged 6–18 with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Participants do simple breathing tests and hand skill tasks in one clinic visit. The goal is to see if rehab programs shoul…

This study looks at brain activity in children aged 5-15 with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) compared to typically developing children. Using a special EEG cap, researchers measure brain waves while children watch and then perform simple actions like reaching for objects. The goa…
