Augmented Reality Training for Cerebral Palsy

Plain-language summary

Rehabilitation programmes for children and adolescents with CP or ABI are not easily accessible, which hinders the development of their physical and cognitive abilities. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for specific care for these children and their families. As part of the rehabilitation of these children, it is necessary to offer cognitive-motor or spatial navigation rehabilitation programmes incorporating different sensory stimuli (visual, auditory). In this context, new technologies appear to be a relevant solution for offering fun, personalised rehabilitation with the possibility of remote self-education. Virtual reality is commonly used for paediatric rehabilitation, unlike augmented reality, which is a very recent and promising technology. Before studying the effectiveness of a new augmented reality-based programme, it is essential to assess the usability, user experience, acceptance and potential benefits of this type of device in the cognitive-motor rehabilitation of this population. The investigators have developed an exergame, using an augmented reality (AR) headset, which will eventually offer a new form of rehabilitation, both fun and interactive, for children and teenagers with CP or ABIs. Principal Objective: Assessing the usability of an AR exercise game for children with CP or ABI. Secondary Objectives: Evaluating the user experience (attractiveness, emotions) of an AR exergame for children with CP or ABI Evaluating the acceptance of an AR exergame before and after its use in children with CP or ABI To assess the intrinsic motivation associated with AR exercise for CP and ABI children. To assess the fatigue (mental and physical) associated with exercise in RA in children with CP or ABI.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
