Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and primary responses of a 3-week exergaming cycling program called Liberi Exergames for pediatric inpatients with cerebral palsy who are recovering from orthopedic surgery. This study involves the use of multiplayer exercise video games or 'exergames' that incorporate an avatar powered by pedalling a recumbent stationary bicycle. The Liberi suite of exergames contains six mini-games, including a combination of cooperative games, competitive games and individual games designed to be fast-paced, action-oriented, and enjoyable for youth with special needs. Standardized questionnaires and assessments investigating post-operative pain, gross motor function, quality of life, and study engagement are also administered. Five participants will engage in 'exergaming' sessions every weekday for 3 weeks, and five participants will only complete the assessments and questionnaires. All participants will receive the standard of care physiotherapy.
