Brain scans reveal how kids with cerebral palsy move

NCT ID NCT01829724

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study uses safe brain imaging techniques (NIRS and EEG) to see which parts of the brain are active during movement in people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers. Researchers hope to learn how the brain controls muscles differently in cerebral palsy, which could lead to better training programs. Participants aged 5 and older will have brain scans while moving, and some may receive biofeedback to improve coordination.
