Comparing two exercise programs for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for children with cerebral palsy to see which might improve movement. One program uses sensory-motor integration, and the other uses virtual reality games.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have a cerebral palsy diagnosis (diplegic, hemiplegic, or dyskinetic type).
- Your child's motor function must be at levels I, II, or III on the GMFCS scale.
- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions.
- Your child must not have had botulinum toxin (Botox) injections in the last 6 months.
- Your child must not have had recent surgery affecting movement or have uncontrolled epilepsy.
- Your child must not have severe vision or hearing problems.
- Your child must not be in another rehab program during the study.

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 compares using virtual reality (a computer-based game) versus plyometric exercises (jumping and bouncing) to see which is better at improving leg control and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal is to help your child move more easily and feel steadier on their feet.
This study compares three types of physical therapy for children with cerebral palsy: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach best improves walking and movement.
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
This study compares two types of arm therapy for children with cerebral palsy: one uses virtual reality games, and the other uses traditional exercises. The goal is to see which one helps improve arm and hand movement better.
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.
