ImGTS for Patients With Cerebral Palsy and With Mobility Limitations (Phase 2)

Developing Immersive Gamification Technology System for Rehabilitation Management of Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Mobility Limitations (Phase 2 Trial)

The proposed research project aims to answer the question "Are immersive technology systems effective in the rehabilitation management of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and with mobility limitations?". The current study is the second of three phases, and it aims to create an immersive gamification technology system for the management of patients with cerebral palsy and with mobility disorders and to determine its clinical effectiveness, safety, and usability among children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy.
