Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

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

  • Severe visual impairment.
  • Severe cognitive impairment such as mental retardation which impedes the understanding of the task.

Treatment and study plan

VR-based motor training

Behavioral

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

Behavioral

Subjects will perform conventional rehabilitation tasks for the upper-extremities that imply vertical and planar reaching movements.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in motor function of the affected extremity as measured by MACS clinical scale

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in attention and visuo-perceptive and visuo-constructional apraxia as measured by the WAIS-III scale

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)

  2. Change in motor function of the affected extremity as measured by the Box and Blocks clinical scale

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)

  3. Change in the amount of use of the affected arm during training as measured by the Virtual Reality system

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to week 5 (End of Treatment)
