NCT ID NCT06821815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether intensive video game-based therapy can improve motor skills and daily living activities in children with cerebral palsy. Sixteen children aged 4-18 were randomly assigned to either video game therapy or standard bimanual therapy for two weeks. Researchers measured changes in gross motor function and daily activity performance before, after, and three 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
Video game-based therapy (exergames using Leap Motion, Xbox Kinect) and bimanual intensive therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a fun, time-efficient, and cost-effective therapy option to improve motor skills and daily activities for children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to all children with CP. The therapy requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
