Augmented reality training for arm function in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing special augmented reality games (where virtual objects appear in the real world) can improve arm and hand function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It compares game training to usual therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy (stiff muscles) affecting one or both sides.
- Your child can walk without help or with only a little help (GMFCS level I or II).
- Your child can use their hands to handle objects (even if slowly or with difficulty – MACS level I, II, or III).
- Your child has mild to moderate muscle tightness (Ashworth score 0–2).
- Your child can understand simple instructions and play games on a screen.

This study compares two types of immersive music therapy—one using virtual reality (VR) and one using augmented reality (AR)—to help people with cerebral palsy improve movement, coordination, and wellbeing through music and hand-tracking interactions.
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
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.
This trial tests if augmented reality, a technology that overlays digital images on the real world, can help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and motor skills through fun, guided exercises.
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 trial tests whether playing virtual reality games, designed as part of a rehab program, can help improve movement and daily skills in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). It may be a fun and engaging way to support physical therapy.
