Navigation skills in virtual reality for children with CP
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual reality headset to understand how children with and without cerebral palsy navigate spaces. Results may help design better therapies for spatial skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 and 17 years old.
- Your child is either typically developing or has cerebral palsy (CP).
- Your child does not have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
- Your child has good head control (can hold head steady without support).
- Any vision problems are corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

This study tests whether playing games in a virtual reality environment can help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and balance. The games are designed to make therapy more engaging while building strength and coordination.
This study tests whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
This study tests whether playing exercise games in virtual reality (using a VR headset) at home can help children with cerebral palsy become more physically active and healthier. A caregiver helps the child use the equipment and participate.
This study tests whether playing balance and movement games on a Nintendo Wii Fit console can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting movement and muscle control) improve their walking and balance. The training uses virtual reality—games that respond to how you move your body.
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 tests whether a virtual visit can assess hand and arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It may help families get care without traveling to a clinic.
