Sponsor's own description
Aim: The present study aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of video-based gaming on upper extremity motor function and activity participation in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP). Specifically, it investigated whether Microsoft Xbox Kinect games leveraging motion-detection technology, when added to conventional neurodevelopmental therapy (NGT), would provide additional benefits in motor skill development, independence in activities, social engagement, motivation, and treatment adherence compared to NGT alone. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four children aged 7-13 years with hemiparetic CP, classified as Level I-III on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Level 1-3 on the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), were recruited. Participants were randomized into intervention (n=12) and control (n=12) groups. The control group received NGT four times per week (45-minute sessions) over a 12-week period. The intervention group received two NGT sessions and two Xbox Kinect gameplay sessions per week, each lasting 45 minutes, over the same duration. Outcome measures included the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) to assess timed hand performance, the Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) to evaluate skill-based hand function, and the Assistance to Participation Scale (APS) to assess participation in daily activities. All assessments were conducted by a blinded expert physiotherapist at baseline and after the intervention period.
