Video Game for Home-based Rehabilitation for Children With Hemiplegia

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of a low-cost, movement tracking video game (Bootle Blast) to 1) sustain engagement in children with cerebral palsy (CP) during a 12-week intervention; and 2) generate changes in upper limb functional motor outcomes following the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) can benefit from home-based practice of therapy exercises. However, sustaining engagement in home-based therapy is challenging. Bootle Blast is a low-cost video game that uses the Microsoft Kinect sensor to track upper limb movements and interactions with real-life objects (e.g. musical instruments, building blocks). To play Bootle Blast, the child needs to use the hemiplegic arm/hand to play unilateral game activities, and highly involve it in bilateral activities. This study will answer our research questions: 1) to what extent can children achieve a weekly play-time goal (PTG) over a 12-week intervention (adherence) when the PTG is family identified? 2) to what extent can the use of Bootle Blast lead to improvements in UL motor function? and 3) what are the participant's experiences of using BB for home rehabilitation? As measures of feasibility we hypothesize that 1a) 75% of children will achieve their weekly play time goal and complete the 12-week intervention and 2) 75% children who achieve their weekly play time goal will improve in one or more UL motor outcome measures. ;
