GO MOVE Home Program for Cerebral Palsy
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and efficacy of Go Move, a mobile website developed to assist youth with unilateral cerebral palsy and their caregivers with setting goals and selecting exercises and activities to meet the goals. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:* Is Go Move accepted by youth with unilateral cerebral palsy and their caregivers?* Does Go Move support goal attainment for youth with unilateral cerebral palsy?Participants will set up and participate in a goal-driven home program using the Go Move mobile website. Participants will spend 1 hour and 15 minutes per week for 6 weeks working on their home program and will complete pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on using a mobile website for exercises, so it's unlikely that medication changes are required.
Is the GO MOVE Home Program for Cerebral Palsy safe for humans?
How is the GO MOVE Home Program treatment different from other treatments for cerebral palsy?
What data supports the effectiveness of the GO MOVE Home Program for Cerebral Palsy treatment?
Research shows that using virtual reality (VR) as part of therapy can help improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy. Studies have found that VR can enhance upper-limb function and gross motor skills, suggesting that the GO MOVE program, which uses VR, may be effective for similar improvements.1011121314
