Virtual Reality with Bobath Therapy for Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial combines virtual reality (a computer-generated, interactive 3D environment) with Bobath therapy (a type of physical therapy) to help children with spastic cerebral palsy improve movement and reduce muscle tightness in their legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 2 and 14 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy affecting both legs or one side of the body.
- You have some ability to walk or move with or without help (GMFCS levels I to III).
- You have tightness in your leg muscles (spasticity) that a doctor has measured as at least mild.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions for your age.
- You have not had leg surgery or botulinum toxin (Botox) shots in your legs in the last 6 months.
- You do not have severe learning difficulties, uncontrolled seizures, or serious vision, balance, or hearing problems that would make virtual reality unsafe.

This trial tests whether playing virtual reality games, designed as part of a rehab program, can help improve movement and daily skills in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). It may be a fun and engaging way to support physical therapy.
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 trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve balance in people with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young adults who can walk independently and have spasticity on one side of the body.
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 can help improve balance and movement in children and young adults with cerebral palsy who use a walker or wheelchair. The trial lasts 6 weeks and involves fun VR activities designed to build 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.
