Testing a video game for arm movement in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D video game to measure how well children with brain-based movement disorders can move their arms and hands. The goal is to see if the game is a good way to track their abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 13 years old.
- Your child has a non-progressive brain condition, such as cerebral palsy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury.
- Your child can grip and move objects well enough to play the game (MACS level I to III).
- Your child has not had arm or hand surgery or Botox injections in the last 3 months.
- Your child does not have severe vision or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow instructions.

This trial tests how well movement sensors work when children and youth with different motor abilities play a game. It may help improve technology that tracks movement for therapy or fun activities.
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.
This study compares three ways to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their movement: playing active video games with a sensor (biofeedback), playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most fun for kids.
This study tests new ways to measure movement (like walking and joint motion) in children and young adults. It's for people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers, to better understand movement differences.
This study tests whether a special video game can help children with neurological conditions improve use of their arms and hands. The game is designed to be fun and engaging while working on movements like reaching and gripping.
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.
