Children's Hospital Los Angeles
Children with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale (GMFCS) I-II will be recruited to participate in a home based physical activity intervention for 4 weeks. Demographic data will be collected, and validated surveys assessing baseline physical activity level and mobility will be completed. Participants will have an exercise program assigned and will be given a logbook to record their exercise adherence. They will be assigned to the Augment Reality (AR) app group. The AR app group will have exercises administered through the AR app. At the end of the program, participants will complete final surveys and an exit interview.
Muscle weakness in cerebral palsy (CP) results in a reduced level of physical activity. Reduced physical activity can lead to adverse health consequences. Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly being used to promote physical activity. The purpose of this study is to determine if adaptive exercise gaming program utilizing AR mobile app for children with cerebral palsy can promote physical activity through a prospective pilot study. Children with CP, GMFCS I-II between the ages of 5-18 years old will be recruited to participate in a home-based physical activity AR games. Study Population: Incl…
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of cerebral palsy, * Ambulatory (GMFCS I and II) * English or Spanish speaking * No plans for lower extremity surgery in the next 4 months Exclusion Criteria: * Moderate to severe developmental or cognitive delay * Significant hearing loss or visual impairment * Recent surgical procedure or fracture over the past 4 months that impacts physical activity
Adaptive physical activity AR gaming modules were created in collaboration with physical therapists with expertise in CP and the Augment Therapy app development team. The program will consists of 5 games adapted for children with cerebral palsy.
