Effect of an augmented reality active video game for gait training in children with cerebral palsy following single-event multilevel surgery: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In paediatric rehabilitation, fun and motivation are also critical keys to successful therapy. A variety of interventions have shown positive effects, high level of interest, compliance and engagement with active video game (AVG).This seems to be an interesting approach for the postoperative gait rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP). In this study, we will investigate if an overground gait training (GT) delivered through an AVG can improve walking capacity and anaerobic performance.

Methods and analysis

This study is a randomised clinical controlled trial. A total of 14 children and adolescents in the age of 10-18 years with CP will be included. The minimum time between surgery and inclusion will be 7 weeks. The test group will participate in the
