Virtual Reality and Active Video Games to Improve Balance in Children With Brain Injury

Use of Low-Cost Virtual Reality and Active Video Games to Improve Balance and Perceptual Skills in Children With Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injury

NCT03386968•Blythedale Children's Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to assess the feasibility of using the Playstation Xbox 360 and Rutgers V-step via a Kinect Sensor with active video game software as a part of a physical therapy intervention to improve obstacle negotiation, gait speed, and stair negotiation in ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) hemiparesis or spastic diplegia, or non-progressive brain injury (BI). Children will be assessed using perceptual, balance, functional and gait assessments.
