Extended Reality Exergaming for Children with Cerebral Palsy
This study is testing if a telehealth program using Extended Reality (XR) Exergaming can help children with cerebral palsy (CP) be more physically active and improve their health. XR Exergaming involves seated arm exercises using a special headset. We are looking for 130 children aged 10 to 17 with a medical diagnosis of cerebral palsy who have doctor's clearance for moderate exercise and home internet access. The study will measure physical activity levels using questionnaires and daily step counts over 36 weeks to see if the intervention is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a Phase II randomized controlled trial. A total of 130 participants will be assigned to either the XR exergaming group with coaching or a control group.
- What's involved
- Participants will engage in seated arm exercises using an extended reality headset for 36 weeks. All procedures are conducted remotely via telehealth.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Physical activity levels will be measured at weeks 0, 6, 12, 24, and 36. Daily step counts will be monitored for the entire 36 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaireweek 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
The GLTEQ is a 7-day recall survey. The GLTEQ will be scored using a health contribution (HC) score, which equates an HC score of ≥24 to the minimum aerobic guideline of 150 mins/week of moderate exercise.
- Daily Step Countweeks 0-36
Steps per day, captured using the Polar Unite wrist watch.
