Motor Learning in People With Cerebral Palsy by Using Virtual Reality.

NCT03348943 NA COMPLETED

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders that affect movement and posture due to a non-progressive lesion in the immature brain occurring in fetal brain development or in infancy. These disorders are often associated with changes in sensation, learning, body perception, communication and behavior. People with CP present variable difficulties in muscle action. With increasing access to computer-aided accessibility, rehabilitation programs have increasingly used virtual reality (VR) environments to provide functional tasks. Virtual reality research in individuals with cerebral palsy has demonstrated improvements in gross motor functions and functional disabilities in mobility, and is a good device for rehabilitation. The present research is a cross-sectional study. For this study 40 individuals aged over six years (with task comprehension) of both gender who have a clinical diagnosis of spastic hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy will be evaluated. Thus, the present study aims to compare the motor function of the committed and uncommitted body side by performing tasks in virtual reality.
