Augmented Reality to Promote Physical Activity in Children With Cerebral Palsy

This study is looking at whether a special type of video game, called Augment Reality Exergames, can help children with cerebral palsy (CP) be more physically active. These games were designed with physical therapists and are played on a mobile device. We want to see if using these games for four weeks helps children complete their exercise program. You might be able to join if you are 5 to 18 years old, have cerebral palsy, can walk (GMFCS I and II), speak English or Spanish, and don't have plans for lower leg surgery in the next four months. We are looking for 30 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 30 participants. All participants will use the Augment Reality (AR) app for four weeks.
What's involved
You would participate in a home-based physical activity program for four weeks, using the AR app for exercises. You would also complete surveys and an exit interview.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoints are measured from baseline to 4 weeks, which is the duration of the exercise program.
