Video game therapy may improve spine mobility in children with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07421505
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding exergaming (video games that require movement) to standard NDT-Bobath therapy can improve spinal mobility in children aged 10-15 with cerebral palsy. Forty-two participants will be split into two groups: one doing seated exergaming and the other standing exergaming, both alongside standard therapy. Researchers will measure changes in neck, back, and spine movement, as well as posture and body composition, right after the 3-month program and again 3 months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NDT-Bobath therapy and seated or standing exergaming
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding exergaming to standard therapy improves spinal movement and posture in children with cerebral palsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to all children with CP. It also does not test a new drug or cure.
