The goal of this intervention study is- 1. To determine if a camp that solely uses VR software based on HABIT (HABIT-VR) still improves the motor planning and execution deficits in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) and 2. To determine if HABIT-VR improves bimanual coordination and affected hand function in children with HCP at least as well as a standard HABIT.A teljes eredeti leírásKevesebb

Evaluating the Effect of Virtual Reality on the Upper-extremity Function of Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Participating in Hand Arm Bimanual Training Camps

The goal of this intervention study is- 1. To determine if a camp that solely uses VR software based on HABIT (HABIT-VR) still improves the motor planning and execution deficits in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) and 2. To determine if HABIT-VR improves bimanual coordination and affected hand function in children with HCP at least as well as a standard HABIT.

Children with motor planning and execution deficits will receive 40 hours of either HABIT-VR or standard HABIT (4 hours per day, 5days/week, for two consecutive weeks), during which the investigators will track their performance of the tasks and their movements through 3-D motion tracking of the VR system. Post-camp, again the investigators will assess upper-extremity motor function. Additionally the investigators will assess pre to post camp improvement in hand function and bimanual coordination using Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), and manual dexterity using Box and Block test and 9 Hole Peg test.

Bevonási feltételek: Children diagnosed as HCP; Children with HCP having Manual Ability Classification System Score (MACS) between I-IV; Parents able to give consent for the assessment and willing to adhere to the assessment and HABIT protocol.

Kizáró feltételek: Children with any other neurological conditions such as diplegic or tetraplegic cerebral palsy CP, birth injuries such as erbs palsy, brachial plexus lesion or peripheral nerve injuries, spina bifida at the upper thoracic level, leading to inability to move the upper extremity; Children with known visual impairments such as blindness; Children with any obvious musculoskeletal deformity, which will affect the ability to handle objects; Children with musculoskeletal problems such as torticollis, which will affect visual gaze and visual tracking of an object.
