Among the 372 studies in Cerebral Palsy with a site in United States, from their registry updates:
The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to assess the feasibility of using the Playstation Xbox 360 and Rutgers V-step via a Kinect Sensor with active video game software as a part of a physical therapy intervention to improve obstacle negotiation, gait speed, and stair negotiation in ambulatory children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) hemiparesis or spastic diplegia, or non-progressive brain injury (BI). Children will be assessed using perceptual, balance, functional and gait assessments.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
A child's usual physical therapy session will be replaced with a session utilizing Active video games and the Rutger's V-step.
Behavioral: Active video gaming
Children will receive their usual care in the physical therapy program at Blythedale.
Behavioral: Usual care physical therapy
Children will visit Blythedale for 8 sessions, one 45-session visit per week, in place of one of the child's typical physical therapy sessions. During each session, children will play a video game on the X-Box Kinect system, using the games "Kinect Adventures" and "Kinect Sports". The child will first play a "Kinect Adventures" game, which requires ambulating, ducking, and dodging one's way through an obstacle course.
Children will attend their usual care physical therapy appointments at Blythedale.

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Jan 2022, 48 months.
Of 902 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's 48 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 921 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
