Carbon vs plastic: which ankle brace helps kids with CP move better?
NCT ID NCT07301593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 and take part in daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ankle foot orthosis (carbon or plastic brace)
What this could lead to
If carbon braces work better, this could help kids with cerebral palsy move more easily and join in more activities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The braces might not improve mobility as hoped.
