Can video games help measure movement in kids with CP?
NCT ID NCT07360171
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check how well motion-capture sensors track movements in 100 children and youth with cerebral palsy while they play active video games. Researchers will compare the sensors to a gold-standard system and a therapist's assessments. The goal is to see if these sensors can accurately measure therapy exercises and game movements, potentially making rehabilitation tracking easier and more fun.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve how therapists measure movement in kids with cerebral palsy using simple video games instead of complex lab equipment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage validation study, not a treatment trial. The sensors may not prove accurate enough for clinical use, and results may not apply to all children with CP.
