Study type | Interventional |
As children with cerebral palsy (CP) become teenagers, they experience a decrease in their physical function and mobility. Decreased mobility leads to increased social isolation for the teens and impacts negatively on their quality of life. This loss of function is multifactorial, but poor physical fitness and muscle weakness secondary to disuse are significant contributors. Exercise video games are a novel approach to engage youth in physical exercise and social interaction with their peers. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of an exercise video gaming intervention to improve physical fitness and social wellbeing. Our over-arching research questions are whether "exergames" can provide health benefits (improved physical fitness) and improved social wellbeing in youth with CP.

Primary | Change in the 7.5 Meter Shuttle Run Test for Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS) Level III (SRT-III) | The 7.5m Shuttle Run test (SRT-III) is a maximal, running-based, field test that can assess cardiovascular fitness in children with CP GMFCS level III. In the tests, markers are placed 7.5m apart in a square formation. Participants walk from marker to marker according to progressively faster auditory cues from a music device. The assessment is scored by the total number of shuttle run levels that the participant completes to the nearest half shuttle. A higher score is better. | Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Primary | Change in the Social Wellbeing Domain of the KINDL-R Quality of Life Questionnaire | Wellbeing Related to Friends/Peers domain of the KINDL-R is a four-item subscale focusing on time spent with friends, being perceived as a success with friends, getting along with friends and whether or not they felt different from peers over the past week. The subscale has 4 items scored on a five-point Likert scale that can be scored in isolation and is converted to percent of total subscale score. Full range of possible scores 0-20. Score is converted to percent of total subscale score (0-100%). Higher scores indicate greater social wellbeing. |
Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | Handheld Dynamometry Measures of Knee Flexors and Knee Extensors | Handheld dynamometry will be used to measure muscle strength for the quadriceps muscles and the hamstrings at 90° of knee flexion in both legs. The individual sits with legs at 90° of knee flexion and resistance will be given anteriorly (knee extensors) and posteriorly (knee flexors) two inches proximal to the lateral malleoli. Higher score indicates greater strength. |
Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | The 30-second Wingate Cycle Test | The 30-second Wingate Cycle Test is a measure of anaerobic power, a key component of physical fitness. The cycle test is performed when a participant uses a cycle ergometer and pedals as hard as they can for 30-seconds against a constant braking force. The measure is relative peak power (watts/kg) normalized to body weight. Higher scores indicate greater anaerobic power. |
Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | Anthropometric Measurements | Anthropometric measurements of waist circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, will be used to assess body composition as indicators of physical fitness. | Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | Total Score of the KINDL-R Questionnaire | The total score of the 24-item KINDL-R questionnaire will measure the participants' health-related quality of life. Scores are on a five-point Likert scale that can be scored in isolation and is converted to percent of total score. Total score is the summed score divided by the total possible score. Full range of possible scores 0-120. Score is converted to percent of total subscale score (0-100%). Higher scores indicate greater health related quality of life. |
Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | The Self-Worth Domain of the KINDL-R Questionnaire | The 4-item Self-worth Domain of the KINDL-R will be used as an indicator of self-esteem. The subscale has 4 items scored on a five-point Likert scale that can be scored in isolation and is converted to percent of total subscale score. Full range of possible scores 0-20. Score is converted to percent of total subscale score (0-100%). Higher scores indicate greater self-worth. |
Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | Gaming Data | Gaming data will be collected as measures of effectiveness of the games' balancing techniques, engagement and adherence. The games will be instrumented to automatically collect usage data including: amount of time playing; amount of time within HR zones while playing. Higher numbers indicate more activity and more time above 40% hear rate reserve (HRR) while playing. |
10-weeks of the exergaming intervention | |
Secondary | StepWatch Activity Monitors | StepWatch Activity Monitors will be used to measure activity levels and motor participation. The StepWatch is a two-plane accelerometer that is worn around the ankle in a knit cuff. The StepWatch measures ambulatory activity (i.e. total daily step count) and acts as an indicator of motor participation in the community. | Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) | |
Secondary | Anthropometric Measurements (Weight) | Anthropometric measurements of waist circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, and weight will be used to assess body composition as indicators of physical fitness. | Baseline (1-week pre-study arm 1), 11-weeks (post study arm 1), 17-weeks (post washout period), 28-weeks (post study arm 2) |
