The Effect of Video-based Game Therapy on Treatment Intensity in Children With Cerebral Palsy

"Interventions were completed in 1-week periods, after 3 clinical visits. All individuals underwent both neurodevelopmental therapy and active video games therapy. Demographic data of individuals were recorded and muscle tone and gross motor functions were evaluated at the first visit. The games determined by the physiotherapist were explained and experienced by individuals. During the second visit, individuals played 4 games that were previously determined and experienced for about 45 minutes. On the last visit, individuals underwent neurodevelopmental therapy. During both treatment sessions, the accelerometer was fitted on a flexible belt by attaching it to the dominant wrist. Individuals were instructed not to remove the device during both treatment sessions.~One session individuals treated with exercises which weight transfer and postural reactions were facilitated.~Other session they played Nintendo Wii games in accordance with their current level and skills."
