NCT ID NCT06924801
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a motion-capture game called Snipperfingers can make physical therapy more engaging for children aged 6-17 who are staying in the hospital. The game uses cameras to track kids' movements as they play, aiming to encourage them to stand and move during therapy sessions. Researchers will measure how easy the system is to use and how acceptable it is to patients, families, and therapists.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Snipperfingers (a motion-capture game platform)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make physical therapy more fun and effective for children in the hospital, helping them stay active during recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. It focuses on usability, not on proving health outcomes, so the game may not actually improve recovery.
