Smart AFO and 5-Azacitidine to Enhance Mobility in Children With Cerebral Palsy (NCT07434492)
Smart Ankle-Foot Orthosis and 5-Azacitidine to Enhance Gait and Community Mobility for Children With Cerebral Palsy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is an intervention study to investigate the impact of a smart ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on mobility outcomes in children with Cerebral Palsy. Participants will complete a three phase protocol including 6-weeks of at home training with the smart AFO. Participants will also have the option to participate in a randomized control trial to investigate the impact of 5-Azacitidine combined with the smart AFO to further effect mobility outcomes.
