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.

Participants

About 38 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children from 8 to 15 years old * Spastic, hemiparetic cerebral palsy * Level I or II on the Gross Motor Function Classification System * Ability to walk and run 10 meters without assistance * Ability to jump (simultaneous lift of both feet) * Daily use of a plastic ankle foot orthosis allowing ankle mobility * Affiliated to a social security scheme Exclusion Criteria: * Children with ataxic, dyskinetic, or mixed-type cerebral palsy * Children with cognitive, intellectual, or behavioral disorders that may impair their understanding of instructions, the proper conduct of evaluations, or the use of assessment scales, as judged by the investigator. * Children who have received botulinum toxin injections within 4 months prior to the inclusion visit * Children or adolescents who have undergone surgical intervention: within the past 6 months prior to inclusion if no bony procedure was performed, or within the past 12 months prior to inclusion if a bony procedure was performed, or who have a planned surgical procedure during the study period. * Children who have participated in an intensive rehabilitation program within 4 months prior to the inclusion visit * Children or adolescents participating in another interventional study that could interfere with the outcomes of the present study by altering the subject's physical abilities.
