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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study followed 60 infants at high risk for cerebral palsy from birth to 18 months to see how they learn to move. Researchers used wearable sensors and a robotic crawler to measure leg movements, crawling, and walking. The goal was to understand how motor skills develop or are delayed, not to test a treatment.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

60 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Dec 2020

Finished

Aug 2025

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Up to 6 weeks

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * less than 6 weeks of age (corrected for prematurity, if applicable) * have a history of an early brain injury associated with high risk for cerebral palsy including periventricular leukomalacia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, stroke, neonatal seizures, or intracranial cystic lesion * family is able to commit to study visits Exclusion Criteria: \* known genetic condition unrelated to cerebral palsy (CP) or congenital abnormalities Infants with fidgety movements on the General Movements Assessments (GMA) at 3 months of age or a score greater than -0.5sd below the mean on the Test of Infant Motor Performance at 4 months of age will not progress in the study because these infants are unlikely to have CP.
