Eye-Tracking glasses may reveal how children with cerebral palsy coordinate gaze and hands
NCT ID NCT07806994
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational pilot study tests whether wearable eye-tracking glasses can reliably record gaze during two-handed tasks in children aged 6 to 12 years, including 20 with cerebral palsy and 20 with typical development. Each child attends one session, wears the glasses, and performs tasks like finding and placing objects under varying visual and sequencing demands. Researchers will check if the setup and recordings work well and explore how gaze and hand actions relate. No treatment is given; the goal is to improve measurement methods for future studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Wearable eye-tracking assessment during structured bimanual tasks
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a reliable method to measure how children with cerebral palsy coordinate gaze and hand actions, supporting future research and therapy planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not treatment. The eye-tracking device may not work well in all children, and results may not apply beyond this specific protocol.

Inclusion Criteria General Inclusion Criteria Children aged 6-12 years * Ability to understand simple instructions required for the study procedures and perform structured visual and bimanual tasks * For children who routinely wear glasses or contact lenses, ability to view near visual stimuli and task materials with their habitual vision correction * Written informed consent provided by a parent or legally authorized representative, with the child providing assent after receiving an age- and developmentally appropriate explanation of the study Cerebral Palsy Group * Diagnosis of cerebral palsy confirmed by a pediatric physiatrist * Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-III * Ability to grasp or manipulate task materials with at least one hand and attempt bimanual task performance Typically Developing Group * Typical developmental history based on parent report and confirmation by the research team * No history of neurological disorders, including cerebral palsy, or musculoskeletal conditions affecting upper-limb function * No diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder that may affect task performance, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or intellectual disability Exclusion Criteria * Visual impairment that prevents the child from adequately viewing near visual stimuli or task materials, even with habitual vision correction * Severe strabismus, nystagmus, or another ophthalmologic condition judged likely to substantially compromise stable eye-tracking data collection * Severe cognitive, communication, or behavioral difficulties that prevent adequate understanding or performance of the study tasks * Severe upper-limb joint contracture, pain, fracture, or another musculoskeletal condition that prevents safe performance of the bimanual tasks * Uncontrolled epilepsy, acute illness, unstable medical condition, or any other condition judged to make study participation unsafe
