Study Summary

This research project focuses on the evaluation of an engaging exercise and cognitive computer game-based platform and embedded assessment tools for use in clinical practice and its transition to use in the home, and elementary classrooms. The goal of our research program is to produce innovative therapeutic point-of-care and cost-effective delivery system leading to better long-term health outcomes for toddlers and children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. The program is grounded on our technological developments and on current research documenting the benefits of computer-aided learning tools, exercise gaming applications in rehabilitation and principles of adaptive learning and neuroplasticity. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to study the feasibility and effectiveness of a computer-aided, game-based repetitive task practice (RTP) program designed for training of fine and gross motor skills of the hand-arms and psychomotor skills (which) in young children with CP.
