Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of intensive video game-based rehabilitation and intensive bimanual activity-based therapy for improving motor skills and daily living activities in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Given the importance of high-frequency, short-duration interventions in CP rehabilitation, the research compares these two approaches while ensuring participants receive no additional therapy during the study.

Twenty children (ages 4-18) with GMFCS levels 1-2 and MACS levels 1-3 will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The video game-based group will complete 28 structured sessions over two weeks, including 20 individual sessions and 8 group sessions. The control group will follow an identical schedule using bimanual goal-oriented activities. Assessments will be conducted before, after, and three months post-intervention using validated motor and functional performance measures.

By standardizing task contents between groups, the study aims to provide objective results and contribute to CP rehabilitation by identifying an effective, time-efficient, and cost-effective therapy option using exergames and serious games.
