Virtual Reality Exercise Games for Active Kids With Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Your child is between 10 and 17 years old
- Your child's doctor says it's safe for them to do moderate-intensity exercise (like brisk walking or light jogging)
- You have a reliable Wi-Fi internet connection at home
- A caregiver can commit to helping your child set up the VR headset and do the exercises several times per week
- Your child is not currently very active (doing less than 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous exercise)
