AI could help kids with cerebral palsy get better movement assessments
NCT ID NCT07629024
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
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 mobility and gait problems, which could lead to better, low-cost rehabilitation tools.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a low-cost, AI-based tool to help therapists better assess and track mobility in children with cerebral palsy, especially in places with limited resources.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI model may not be accurate enough for real-world use, and results may not apply to all children with cerebral palsy.

Who is studied
Children with cerebral palsy classified within Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Levels I-III who are ambulatory with or without assistive devices and receiving routine physiotherapy rehabilitation. Participants from all cerebral palsy subtypes will be included for clinical, functional, and gait assessment related to AI-based evaluation of functional mobility and gait outcomes.
