Early Powered Mobility for Toddlers With Cerebral Palsy Using the Permobil® Explorer Mini and a Modified Ride-On Car
NCT04684576 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The use of powered mobility devices for young children with cerebral palsy (CP) has been gaining traction, with evidence that the use of powered mobility at young ages complements (rather than detracts from) other interventions focused on more traditional mobility skills such as crawling and walking. This study will collect preliminary data (both numeric and opinion/perception data) to investigate device use patterns, caregiver perceptions, and developmental outcomes of children with CP as families are introduced to two early powered mobility interventions: the Permobil® Explorer Mini, and a modified ride-on toy car.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04684576
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04684576 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Washington, which has 987 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Cerebral Palsy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Permobil Explorer Mini is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04684576 reports 3 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Michigan, Oregon, Washington. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
