Summary
This study tests whether serious games (special video games that combine movement and thinking) can improve balance, memory, and quality of life in 30 children with cerebral palsy. Kids play daily for 30 minutes over 10 days, alongside their usual rehab. Researchers will measure trunk control, balance, and cognitive skills to see if this fun approach adds real benefits.
