Movement tracking sensors for children with motor challenges
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests new sensors that track movement while children and teens play a fun game. The goal is to see if these sensors work well for kids with different motor abilities, which could help improve therapy and assistive technology.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must be between 5 and 24 years old.
- Must be able to lift one hand above the shoulder to play the game.
- Must have enough vision and hearing to see and use a screen (small impairments are okay).
- Must be willing to wear reflective stickers on skin and tight clothing, and athletic tape to hold loose clothing.
- Must have mobility similar to levels I–III on the GMFCS scale (meaning you can walk, maybe with aids or some limitation).
- Must not have any injury or disability that makes moderate exercise unsafe, and no seizure disorder triggered by screens (unless safely handled 1 hour of screen time per week).

This study tests whether small movement sensors can accurately track how much and how well teenagers and young adults with cerebral palsy move during daily life. The results may help doctors better understand movement problems and design better therapies.
This study compares three ways to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement: playing active video games with biofeedback, playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most engaging for kids.
This study tests a smartphone app that measures how children with cerebral palsy move. It aims to see if the app can accurately track motor abilities, which could help doctors and families monitor progress more easily.
This study uses a 3D video game to evaluate arm and hand movement in children with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or brain injury. Participation may help improve understanding of arm impairments and guide future treatments.
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 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.
