Effects of Virtual Reality on Functional Balance in Children With Cerebral Palsy (GMFCS III-IV)

"The intervention consists of a rehabilitation program based on Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), specifically designed to improve functional balance in children and adolescents with GMFCS levels III and IV cerebral palsy, between 5 and 20 years of age.~The Meta Quest 3 device will be used, a standalone, wireless, high-definition immersive virtual reality system. This device allows the user to fully immerse themselves in interactive virtual environments, blocking out external stimuli and offering an immersive, motivating, and controlled experience."

"The Control Group (CG) will receive a standardized conventional physical therapy program focused on balance training, with the goal of improving postural and functional control in children and adolescents with GMFCS levels III and IV cerebral palsy, between 5 and 20 years of age.~This treatment is based on traditional exercises recognized within pediatric physical therapy for balance training and is designed to be comparable in time, frequency, and intensity to the experimental group (virtual reality), but without the use of immersive technology."
