About this study
Official title: Intensive Pediatric Group Intervention in a Curricularly-embedded Pro-bono Clinic
The purpose of the Mizzou emPOWER program is to meet the curricular needs of entry-level doctorate of physical therapy students by providing them the real-world experience of implementing recent evidence surrounding physical therapy dosing for children with cerebral palsy (CP) for power, strength, and gait interventions while meeting an unmet community need.
Read the detailed description
Beginning in Fall 2024, the investigators will recruit 6 children with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I-III, ages 7-17 years old, to participate in the program. Two students will be assigned to each participant, rotating every 4 weeks due to the structure of the pro-bono clinic. A total of 3 faculty members will supervise. The group will meet for 2 hours, 2 times per week for 15 weeks. Each session will include a 10-minute game-based warm-up, 45 minutes of gait interventions to include treadmill and overground walking as well as other aerobic activities, 45 minutes of resistance training (power and strength training as appropriate for their individual goals), and a 10-minute cool-down incorporating yoga and breathing activities. Participant assessments will be completed during the first week, 7th week, and 15th week. Other programmatic assessments will include students' written reflections on their experiences providing this program, caregiver satisfaction surveys, and participant and caregiver interviews.

PhysZou emPOWER: a strength, power, and gait intervention group physical therapy program for children with CPOther
Each session will include a 10-minute game-based warm-up, 45 minutes of gait interventions to include treadmill and overground walking as well as other aerobic activities, 45 minutes of resistance training (power and strength training as appropriate for their individual goals), and a 10-minute cool-down incorporating yoga and breathing activities. To ensure participants are exercising at the appropriate level of intensity, 1 repetition maximum measures will be used to determine the appropriate levels of resistance and heart rate monitors will be worn.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
1 Repetition Maximum (1-RM) Testing
Particpants will complete strength testing of hip/knee extensors and plantarflexor muscle groups using a leg press, using 1 Rep max testing protocols, as outlined in Pontiff and moreau, 2022. (PMID 35960137)
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
10 meter walk test
Walking speed test of 10 meter distance, completed in both conditions of self selected speed and fast gait speed
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Keiser Leg Press
Assessment of lower extremity power
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Timed up and Down Stairs
Functional measure of how quickly child can climb up and down 1 flight of stairs
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
30 second sit to stands
This is a clinical assessment of lower extremity strength, in which investigators count the number of repetitions of sit to stands completed in 30 seconds.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
30 second half kneel to stand
This is a clinical assessment of lower extremity strength, in which investigators count the number of repetitions of half kneel to stand complete correctly in a 30 second time period.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Lateral Step Ups
This is a clinical assessment of lower extremity strength, in which investigators count the number of repetitions of lateral step ups completed in 30 seconds on a standard size 6 inch step.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88)
This is a criterion referenced measure of gross motor function and is valid and reliable for children with cerebral palsy. It evaluates motor skills that are typical for normal development. Dimensions D and E will be utilized, as these 2 sections assess the overall gross motor function in direct relation to standing, walking, running, and jumping.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure
Evidence-based outcome measure designed to capture a client's self-perception of performance in goals they determine before intervention. The measurement focuses on self-care, leisure activities, and productivity. The participant rates their performance and their satisfaction with their performance on a scale from 1-10, with 1 indicating poor performance and low satisfaction, while 10 indicates very good performance and high satisfaction.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Standing balance with eyes closed standing on firm surface
Participants will stand on a force plate with eyes closed. Postural control information is obtained from the investigators and the force plate tracks the center of pressure of the participant.
Measured: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).
Standing balance with eyes closed standing on firm surface
Joint kinematics (movement strategies) obtained while eyes closed standing on firm surface

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cerebral Palsy, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
1 Repetition Maximum (1-RM) Testing (time frame: Before PT intervention begins (week 1), midpoint of program (Week 7), and last week of program (week 15).). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06527469, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2026.
