Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to find the optimal dosage of home-based treadmill training needed to accelerate walking onset and to examine the long-term effects on the child's walking activity.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal parameters for dosing home-based treadmill training by comparing high-intensity (5 days/week, twice daily for 10-20 min for 6 weeks) to low-intensity (2 days/week, once daily for 10-20 minutes for 6 weeks) treadmill training; and to compare the effects of high- versus low-intensity treadmill training on walking attainment and overall walking activity in young children with cerebral palsy.

Hypotheses

- A more intensive protocol of treadmill training will increase walking onset in young children with CP.

- A more intensive protocol of treadmill training will increase overall walking activity in young children with CP.

Specific Aims

- To determine optimal parameters for dosing home-based treadmill training by comparing high-intensity to low-intensity home-based treadmill training.

- To compare the effects of high- versus low-intensity treadmill training on walking onset and overall walking activity.

Study design •Prospective randomized controlled trial

Study population

•Two groups of 12 children with CP under the age of 3 years and are not walking yet will receive either home-based high-intensity treadmill training or low-intensity treadmill training. The children will be assessed before, immediately after, at 1-month and at 4-months following the intervention via standardized outcome measures. ;
