Virtual Reality Training Using Wii Fit in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy (CP), Virtual Reality, Balance, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level I,II, Gross Motor Functions, Agility
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether virtual reality (VR) training using the Nintendo Wii Fit can improve balance, gross motor function, and agility in children aged 7-14 years with spastic cerebral palsy (GMFCS Levels I-II). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Wii Fit-based VR training improve balance more than conventional physiotherapy? Does VR training enhance gross motor skills such as standing, walking, running, and jumping? Does VR training improve agility in children with cerebral palsy? Does VR training increase enjoyment and engagement during therapy? Researchers will compare Wii Fit-based VR training with conventional physiotherapy to determine which approach leads to greater improvements in motor function. Participants will: Attend 18 sessions over 6 weeks (3 sessions per week). Perform either VR-based exercises using the Wii Fit Balance Board or traditional physiotherapy exercises. Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments using the Pediatric Balance Scale, GMFM-88 (domains D and E), BOT-2 agility subtest, and the PACES enjoyment scale. This study aims to explore a fun, cost-effective, and engaging rehabilitation strategy that may improve functional independence and overall quality of life for children with cerebral palsy.
