Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 7 to 18 years with cerebral palsy classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System level 1 or 2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe foot deformities or other significant medical issues that affect their ability to use the insole device may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the usability and satisfaction of an insole-type gait analysis device for children with cerebral palsy who have walking impairments. Participants will undergo a screening test to ensure they can walk independently for more than 10 meters. Those who qualify will engage in a 6-week home exercise program while using the device, which records their walking patterns. Feedback will be provided during the program, and satisfaction will be assessed after completion.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance gait rehabilitation and improve mobility for children with cerebral palsy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using technology for gait analysis and rehabilitation, suggesting potential success for this approach.
