Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a group of movement and posture disorders that cause activity limitation due to brain damage during fetal development or in the first year of life. Motor activities, and in particular walking, can be affected by many factors including sensory deficits, biomechanical and postural limitations, muscle weakness and spasticity. Theories of gait training guide rehabilitation management strategies. Among these, intensification, variability and specific training of walking parameters (speed, step length, cadence) have shown their effectiveness. Delivering sensory feedback during gait rehabilitation exercises is a complementary approach to improve motor learning during rehabilitation. On the other hand, motivation is a key factor in the success of rehabilitation. The addition of walking exercises performed through a serious game in augmented reality (AR) appears relevant for the rehabilitation of children with CP after surgery.
The serious game ARRoW-CP is based on the latest advances in the literature in terms of gait rehabilitation protocol but also on the results of a clinical study conducted by our team, to identify the best feedback modalities to be delivered during the serious rehabilitation game.
This study is a randomized control trial.
Participants are children with cerebral palsy having a single event multi level surgery. They are involving in a rehabilitation protocol in the same rehab center.
Two groups are formed:
ARROW CP game is developed for augmented reality headset (Microsoft Hololens). It delivers feedback in real time and with delay on participant gait performance. This game has been developed by researchers (Fondation Ellen Poidatz, France).
The aims of this study are:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control group | Active Comparator | Classic rehab (physio including strength rehab, fitness, motor activity...) + treadmill gait training 3*/week/4weeks: 5 minutes of warm-up with gradual increase in treadmill speed, max 20 minutes of walking at 80% of maximum speed, 5 minutes of active recovery with gradual decrease in treadmill speed. (protocol from Grecco et al.) |
|
| Test group | Experimental | Classic rehab - same as control group - (physio including strength rehab, fitness, motor activity...) + overground ARROW CP gait training 3*/week/4weeks: walking sprint session at maximal speed with gradual increase in number of repetitions over the weeks. (protocol from Verschuren et al.) |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |

| Serious game ARROW CP | Other | ARROW CP is developed for Microsoft Hololens headset. Feedback on gait performance are delivering to the participant in real time and with delay. Participants have to walk at their maximal speed during "sprint session". |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 6 minutes walking test | Aim of the measurement: To quantify changes in the parameters of walking quality (speed, cadence, step length). Procedure: The patient is instructed to walk for 6 minutes in an unobstructed corridor. The distance walked is recorded for the calculation of walking speed. Fatigue is assessed with a Borg scale and heart rate is continuously recorded. | 6 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle power sprint test | Aim of the measurement: To assess the anaerobic capacity of children with motor disabilities. Procedure: The patient is asked to perform six 15-metre walking sprints, with 10 seconds of rest between each sprint. The average and maximum power are calculated based on the speeds achieved during the sprints. | 10 minutes |

Pre-test and post-test evaluation are made by one physiotherapist ignoring the patient's arm.
| Treadmill | Other | Participant walk on a treadmill at 80% of their maximal speed during maximum 20 minutes (+5 min warm-up / 5 min cool-down) |
|
| Shuttle run test I and II (adapted for children with CP) | In this test, the child must walk between 2 poles spaced 10 metres apart following the "beep rhythm" imposed by a pre-recorded soundtrack. The soundtrack includes an increase in walking speed of 0.25 km/h every minute. (Verschuren et al.) | 20 minutes |
| Questionnaire (PACES) | To assess enjoyment for both control and test group, the 16-items of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) will be used. The PACES is a valid and re- liable measure of physical activity enjoyment. It has been used in many studies assessing the effectiveness of VR therapy This questionnaire will be presented to the participant at the end of the last session. | 10 minutes |
