Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Augment Therapy app
    The app will be implemented with the participant's compatible iPad that will be securely integrated with a network-server for real-time data access and storage. If the participant does not have a compatible device, this will be provided by the research team. Participants will be provided an on-site or virtual CHLA tutorial about using the app and set up of the gaming system. Participants will access their home program on the app at least for 20 minutes, 3 times a week over a 4-week period. A coordinator will check in virtually with the participant during the program. They will complete baseline and final surveys. Exercise data will be collected and stored through the Augment Therapy™ app and self log book.

Primary Outcome Measure

Number of participants that complete mobile application delivered exercise program. [ Time Frame: Baseline to 4 weeks. ]
