Can special tricycles boost health in teens with cerebral palsy?
NCT ID NCT06330922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at muscle problems, metabolic issues, and chronic inflammation in adolescents and young adults (ages 14-30) with moderate to severe spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will compare them to less affected and healthy peers, then have the more affected group do a 12-week fitness training program using special tricycles called Frame Runners. The goal is to understand how their bodies respond to exercise and whether it can improve muscle function and reduce health risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cardiorespiratory fitness training using Frame Runners (special tricycles)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that regular fitness training improves muscle health and reduces cardiometabolic risks in people with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is short (12 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.
