Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
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.

Treatments
Experimental: Head-mounted display (HMD)
The HMD system uses a commercially available virtual headset, the Oculus/Meta Quest 2, which allows a user to view a virtual environment in 360 degrees and to interact with the environment using hand-tracking technology (i.e., when a user's hand is projected into the virtual world to be used for interactions and gestures).
The semi-CAVE system uses projectors and projector screens to provide a 270-degree view of the virtual environment. These projectors are connected to a powerful workstation (desktop computer), which uses HTC Vive trackers and base stations to track user movements and interactions
