Dynamic stretching programme for children with cerebral palsy
The SPELL study looks at whether a new dynamic stretching programme helps children with spastic cerebral palsy move more easily. Researchers are comparing six special physiotherapy sessions over 16 weeks against standard NHS advice to find out which approach works best at reducing muscle stiffness and improving movement.

Strengthening programme for ambulant adolescents with cerebral palsy
The ROBUST study looks at whether a specialised muscle-strengthening exercise programme helps teenagers with cerebral palsy move and walk more easily. Researchers want to compare this tailored physiotherapy programme with the standard physiotherapy advice usually given by the NHS, to find out which approach provides better long-term support.

Evaluation of the NEUROSWING Orthosis on Walking Speed in a Population With Dorsal and/or Plantar Flexor Deficits, With a View to a Reimbursement Application
This study looks at a new ankle support, the NEUROSWING orthosis, to see if it helps people with walking difficulties caused by conditions like stroke or MS. Researchers will compare it to a standard carbon ankle support to see if it improves walking speed.

Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
This study compares how two types of ankle-foot supports (AFOs) are made: the traditional plaster cast method and a new digital 3D printing method. We want to see if the digital AFOs work just as well for people with leg weakness, potentially making them faster and cheaper to produce.

Genetic Predisposition in Cerebral Palsy
This study looks into whether genetic factors might play a role in some cases of cerebral palsy (CP). Researchers will use genetic tests to examine the DNA of children with CP to see if certain genetic changes are present. The aim is to better understand the causes of CP.

Medium to Long Term Outcomes of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy
This study looks at how children and young people with cerebral palsy are doing several years after having Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery. We want to understand the long-term effects of the surgery on their daily lives and their families. Participants will complete surveys and have some hospital tests.

Nebulised Hypertonic Saline to Decrease Respiratory Exacerbations in Neuromuscular Disease or Neurodisability
This study looks at whether breathing in salty water (hypertonic saline) can help people with certain muscle or brain conditions avoid frequent chest infections. Participants will use a nebuliser twice a day for a year to see if this treatment reduces the need for antibiotics.

Intrathecal baclofen pump versus selective dorsal rhizotomy for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two treatments, an a baclofen pump and a special surgery, for stiffness in children with cerebral palsy who can't walk. It looks at how care for the child changes over the first year.
