Video game prescribed as therapy: kids with cerebral palsy test fun new way to practice arm movements at home

NCT ID NCT07289360

Summary

This study is testing whether a special mixed-reality video game called Bootle Blast can help children with cerebral palsy improve their arm and hand function through fun, home-based practice. Researchers want to see if it's practical for families to use the game at home for 12 weeks and if it shows early signs of improving motor skills compared to usual care. Children aged 6-17 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy will be randomly assigned to either use the game immediately or after a 12-week wait, while researchers track their gameplay and progress.
