Spastic cerebral palsy

This study will test whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with task-oriented training and virtual reality, can improve movement and brain activity in 150 children with spastic cerebral palsy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either r…

This study tests whether a surgically implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can reduce spasticity (muscle stiffness) in adults with cerebral palsy. Forty participants aged 16 and older with stable, one-sided motor disability will receive the implant. Re…

Researchers compare two rehabilitation approaches for children with cerebral palsy and immature brain injury: virtual reality training and task-oriented circuit training. Both aim to improve upper limb sensorimotor function, pinch grip, and quality of life. Forty-four children ag…

This study will test whether adding music therapy to standard physical therapy helps children with spastic cerebral palsy improve their concentration and walking. Forty children aged 5 to 7 will either receive physical therapy alone or physical therapy combined with rhythmic musi…

This study looks at whether letting children with cerebral palsy walk sooner after calf surgery helps their foot movement and motor skills. Forty-two children aged 4 to 14 will either get a cast for 3 weeks or a brace right away, plus physical therapy. Researchers will check thei…

This study tests whether virtual reality training using the Nintendo Wii Fit can improve balance, walking, and agility in children aged 7-14 with cerebral palsy. Over 6 weeks, 56 kids will either play Wii Fit games or do standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if a fun, low…

This study tests whether real-time muscle activity feedback can help children with cerebral palsy activate the intended leg muscles during strength training. Children with cerebral palsy often compensate by using other muscles, which may reduce training benefits. Researchers will…

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…
