Game-based training to help children walk better with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a serious video game can improve walking and movement in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child practice safer, more effective walking skills through guided play.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) in their medical record
- Your child is between 10 and 17 years old for the whole study period
- They can walk about 50 meters with a walker or frame without another person helping
- Their CP movement is mild to moderate (GMFCS levels I to III)
- They can understand and follow simple instructions to play the game
- They have had lower-leg surgery (including bone procedures) at least 7 weeks before the study starts

This study compares three ways to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement: playing active video games with biofeedback, playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most engaging for kids.
This trial uses fun computer games to try to improve thinking, balance, and daily life for children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. The games are designed specifically for kids and are meant to be helpful and enjoyable.
This trial tests if using an augmented reality game on a tablet can help children with cerebral palsy walk and move more each day. It could be an option if your child can walk on their own and doesn't have upcoming leg surgery.
This study uses a 3D video game to evaluate arm and hand movement in children with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or brain injury. Participation may help improve understanding of arm impairments and guide future treatments.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
