Interval Treadmill Training for Cerebral Palsy
Study Summary
This trial will compare the effects of two different types of locomotor training on ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. The first group will do short bursts of intense walking with low/moderate intensity in between. The second group will do traditional locomotor training at a constant low/moderate intensity. The goal is to see if the first group's walking capacity and performance improves more than the second group's, and whether this effect is mediated by improvements in muscle power generation.

"The study is currently searching for 72 children, aged between 6 and 10 years old, that have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. To be eligible to participate in the trial a patient must meet all of these criteria: bilateral spastic cerebral palsy, gross motor function classification levels II & III within the age range of 6-11."
Are participants of at least twenty years in age eligible to join this clinical trial?
"This medical trial has age limitations for potential participants. The lower limit is 6 years old, whereas the upper bound of eligibility caps at 10 years old."
How many participants have been enrolled in this research study?

What are the primary goals of this research endeavor?
"The primary evaluation metric for this trial spans from the baseline to 8 weeks and involves assessing participant's walking capacity at self-selected speeds. Secondary measures include Mobility, recorded via PROMIS v1.0 Pediatric Profile scores; Walking Mobility in home versus community environments tracked by StepWatch (SW) with Global Positioning System support; as well as Family Gait Priorities and Quality of gait scored using Parent report Gait Outcome Assessment List total score."
Are there any opportunities for prospective participants to join this experiment?
"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov displays that this clinical trial, originally posted on November 27th 2019, is actively seeking participants. The study necessitates the recruitment of 72 individuals from 2 distinct medical facilities."
