iMOVE: Virtual Reality PT Versus Traditional PT
Immersive Virtual Reality for Enhancement of Physical Activity in Pediatric Oncology : a Randomised Control Study (iMOVE)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This pragmatic, crossover, randomized controlled study evaluates the efficacy of virtual reality assisted physical therapy (VRPT) for improving the physical activity of hospitalized children as compared to traditional physical therapy. This is a pilot study that will be used to identify patient populations that can benefit the most from VRPT and estimate this effect for future studies. Patients with a significant neurological condition, major developmental disability, active infection of the face or hand, history of severe motion sickness, history of seizures caused by flashing light or had a major surgery within the last 48 hours will be excluded.
