This study tests whether a structured walking therapy program can improve mobility in 120 adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Participants undergo 24 gait training sessions over 8 weeks, with before-and-after tests of walking speed, brain activity, and muscle contro…

This study aims to see if behavioral coaching, using wearable activity monitors, can help people with cerebral palsy increase their daily steps and improve mobility. Researchers will track changes in walking speed, balance, and brain activity in 32 participants. The goal is to fi…

This study compares robotic exoskeleton training to traditional physical therapy for improving walking in adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Participants undergo brain scans, mobility tests, and nerve tests before and after training. The goal is to see if the robot…

This study explores why some people with cerebral palsy respond well to gait training while others do not. Researchers will track brain activity and walking ability weekly during an 8-week physical therapy program in 20 participants. The goal is to identify brain patterns that pr…

This study looks at how the brain and spinal cord work together in people with cerebral palsy compared to those without. Researchers will use brain scans and simple tasks to measure these signals. Some participants will also receive a mild electrical current over the scalp or spi…

This pilot study explores a new language intervention called Milieu Teaching-AV for infant siblings of autistic children, who are at higher risk for autism or language delays. The intervention teaches caregivers to encourage babies to look at the mouth during play, aiming to impr…
