Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Children and Adult patients between 12- 50 years old diagnosed with CP according to Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Level of disability between I and IV.

• Ashworth modified clinical scale < 3 (Ashworth, 1964, Bohannon Bohannon and Smith, 1987).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Movement Disorder
• Movement Disorders

Intervention

Behavioral:
• VR-based motor training
Subjects will perform 3 different training protocols in Virtual Reality that imply performing tasks of vertical and planar reaching and hitting spheres, or hockey pucks, spaced at different time, speed and color.
• Conventional Therapy
Subjects will perform conventional rehabilitation tasks for the upper-extremities that imply vertical and planar reaching movements.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in motor function of the affected extremity as measured by MACS clinical scale		Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)
Secondary	Change in attention and visuo-perceptive and visuo-constructional apraxia as measured by the WAIS-III scale		Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)
Secondary	Change in motor function of the affected extremity as measured by the Box and Blocks clinical scale		Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)
Secondary	Change in the amount of use of the affected arm during training as measured by the Virtual Reality system		Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)
