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 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 study compares two types of arm therapy for children with cerebral palsy: one uses virtual reality games, and the other uses traditional exercises. The goal is to see which one helps improve arm and hand movement better.
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 study tests whether virtual reality exercises or task-based training help improve arm and hand use in teenagers with cerebral palsy. It compares two types of upper-limb therapy to see which is more effective.
