Can a tablet replace the clinic? new study checks if remote play tests are reliable for kids with CP
NCT ID NCT06810063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks whether a play-based test of arm and hand movements, called the Melbourne Assessment-2, is reliable when done through telehealth for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. About 35 children ages 2 to 10 will attend one in-person visit and one telehealth visit, playing with toys while being scored. The goal is to see if remote assessments can be as valid and engaging as in-person ones.
