Training Upper Limbs of Neurodiverse Children by Connecting Brain Activities to a Virtual Reality Based Game (NCT06818877)
Enhancing Upper Extremity Rehabilitation in Neurodiverse Children: Brain-Computer Interface Mediated Neurofeedback and Virtual Reality for Improved Engagement and Training Quality
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is testing ways to help children with cerebral palsy (CP) improve how their hands work. Investigators want to see if brain activity using a virtual reality (VR) program can make their hands work better. The program is called Hand and Bimanual Intensive Therapy Virtual Reality (HABIT-VR). Investigators will compare how well HABIT-VR works to a simple VR program. In the study a VR game will be played and participants in the treatment group, will have hand muscles gently stimulated to help the joints move.
