Virtual reality games for children with cerebral palsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
