About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This project aims to develop an accessible, learning-oriented model based on gamified breathing and posture training that emphasizes active participation for children with cerebral palsy (CP), their families, and educators. Since current practices are largely clinic-centered, there is a growing need for game-based, motivational and widely discernible programs. In this context, the project aims to provide an inclusive model that enhances breathing and postural awareness through digital technology, thereby increasing motivation and adherence.
The group in the trial
- Experimental GroupTreatment being tested
All 40 children with cerebral palsy aged 6-18 years included in the study will receive the N.E.F.E.S.-CP gamified breathing and postural awareness education model. The training program will be conducted twice a week for 8 weeks at the Spastic Children's Foundation of Turkey (TSÇV).
