Speech and arm exergame for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a fun 'exergame' that combines speech exercises with arm movements for children with cerebral palsy. It may help improve coordination and communication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 8 to 17 years old and have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- They should use speech as their main way of talking, and have mild to moderate speech difficulty (dysarthria).
- They must be able to use their arms to some degree (MACS I–III) and walk with or without help (GMFCS I–IV).
- They need to have mild to moderate arm muscle tightness, and have passed a recent hearing test in both ears.
- English must be their first or primary language, and they should be able to follow simple instructions like repeating a short phrase.
