New device tracks brain and body coordination in kids with CP
NCT ID NCT07240740
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a special light-and-sensor system (WittySEM) to measure how quickly and accurately children with cerebral palsy can react to visual cues. Twenty children completed memory tasks by touching lighted targets, while cameras tracked their movements. The goal was to see if this tool could provide objective measurements before and after rehabilitation, but the study was small and did not test any new treatment.
