Using a serious game for gait rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of a serious game called ARRoW-CP, designed for augmented reality headsets, in improving gait rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy following multi-level surgery. Participants are divided into two groups: one receiving traditional rehabilitation combined with treadmill training, and the other engaging in gait training using the ARRoW-CP game. The study aims to assess the impact of this innovative approach on gait parameters, functional abilities, and patient motivation. The trial is conducted at the Fondation Ellen Poidatz in France.

Why it matters

Inclusion Criteria:

* A clinical diagnosis of CP mentioned in the medical record
* Minor child for the entire duration of the protocol, i.e. between 10 and 17 years of age (the child must be less than 18 years of age at the time of the last check-up scheduled 1 year after inclusion in the study)
* Global Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I to III
* Functional Mobility Scale 50 meters rating superior or equal to 2 (ability to walk on 50m using a walker or frame without help from another person)
* Ability to cooperate, understand and follow simple instructions to play.
* Patient affiliated to the French social security system
* Voluntary patient whose parents have given their consent for their child to participate in the study
* Patient who has undergone multisite surgery of the lower limbs including bone procedures at least 7 weeks before the start of the procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

* A diagnosis of photosensitive epilepsy mentioned in the medical file AND/OR a mention in the child's medical file or by the parents or by the child of a history of epileptic seizures occurring during the practice of a video game
* A visual, cognitive or auditory impairment at a level that would interfere with playing the game. The patient must have normal or corrected vision and hearing.
