NCT ID NCT07092436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a portable robotic device called PhiCube that helps children aged 4 to 18 with neuromotor disorders (like cerebral palsy) or coordination difficulties improve arm movement. The device uses games to make therapy fun, with 30 sessions over 3 months. Researchers will measure changes in movement quality and daily activities to see if it works.
