INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Physical Inactivity Pediatric ALL Cerebral Palsy Mobile Phone Use Physical Disability

Summary

Children with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale (GMFCS) I-II will be recruited to participate in a home based physical activity intervention for 4 weeks. Demographic data will be collected, and validated surveys assessing baseline physical activity level and mobility will be completed. Participants will have an exercise program assigned and will be given a logbook to record their exercise adherence. They will be assigned to the Augment Reality (AR) app group. The AR app group will have exercises administered through the AR app. At the end of the program, participants will complete final surveys and an exit interview.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether augmented reality (AR) technology — digital images or games overlaid on the real world — can make exercise more engaging and motivating for children with cerebral palsy, helping them become more physically active in their daily lives. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy - Your child is ambulatory at GMFCS levels I or II (able to walk with or without a mobility aid) - Your child speaks English or Spanish - No lower extremity surgery is planned in the next 4 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child has moderate to severe developmental or cognitive delays - Your child has significant hearing loss or visual impairment that would prevent using AR technology - Your child had surgery or a bone fracture in the past 4 months affecting physical activity Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
