What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether two devices — a knee traction dynamometer and a non-invasive muscle sensor — can reliably measure muscle strength and activity in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty children aged 5 to 16 with mild to moderate CP took part. The goal was to see if these tools are practical for clinics and can give consistent results between different testers.

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 provide clinicians with simple, reliable tools to measure muscle strength and activity in children with cerebral palsy, helping track progress and guide therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed reliability study with only 20 participants. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve outcomes. The devices may not prove practical in everyday clinics.
