NCT ID NCT07392398
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to standard Bobath therapy can improve leg muscle activity, balance, and motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Thirty children aged 2 to 14 will be randomly assigned to receive either VR-enhanced Bobath therapy or standard Bobath therapy alone for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in muscle activity, balance, and gross motor skills before and after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Virtual reality combined with Bobath therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more engaging and effective rehabilitation option for children with spastic cerebral palsy, improving their movement and balance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The VR approach may not provide significant benefits over standard therapy.
