Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Functional Strength TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children will receive repetitive progressive resistance exercise during goal-directed functional activity with the children focus on the activity being performed. Children will be offered a pamphlet containing suggested functional arm exercises which are designed to move their arms.
Group II: Virtual Reality Gaming InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
A newly developed VR gaming platform called Super Pop VR, a VR system that can be individualized to the movement capabilities of the child, will be used. The research team will loan the system to the family. The child will be asked to move their arms to 'pop' as many virtual objects as possible with the focus on outwards, upwards, and across midline.
