Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new therapy approach to improve walking ability in children with Cerebral Palsy is acceptable to the children and the families in a community setting. The main questions we look to answer are: 1. Do the children/teens tolerate the therapy and feel that it is helpful? 2. Do the parents/ families feel the therapy helps and is easy to commit to? 3. Do the children/teens complete all their therapy sessions and assessments as planned? The participants will trial the therapy for 30 hours over 6 weeks and will perform assessments before and after to see if they meet their goals. They will also be interviewed to see how they felt about the therapy when they finish.


Clinical Trial Description

The therapy being trialed in this study uses motor learning theory to try and improve or change walking patterns to improve the child/teen's walking goal. Therapy will target their own walking goal and they can choose the format of their therapy as long as they complete 30 hours of which 24 hours must be in the clinic within a 6 week period. ;
