简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality (VR)-mediated gamified rehabilitation program compared with conventional physical therapy in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Forty-two children aged 7-15 years with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Levels II and III were recruited from Rafsan Neuro Rehab Center, Peshawar. Participants were randomly allocated into two equal groups. The intervention group received VR-based gamified rehabilitation using Xbox Kinect along with physiotherapy, while the control group received conventional physiotherapy only. Both groups completed 18 treatment sessions over six weeks. Outcome measures included the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). The findings demonstrated that VR-mediated rehabilitation significantly improved functional mobility, balance, and trunk control compared with conventional therapy. The study concludes that VR-based rehabilitation is an effective, motivating, and clinically useful intervention for children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy and may improve rehabilitation outcomes and functional independence.

Timed Up and Go Test
时间窗: At baseline and after 6 weeks
Timed Up and Go Test score measures the time in seconds it takes a person to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters (10 feet), turn around, walk back, and sit down.
Pediatric Balance Scale
时间窗: baseline and after 6 weeks
Pediatric Balance Scale examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks in the pediatric population. It consists of 14 tasks.
Trunk Impairment Scale
时间窗: Baseline and after 6 weeks
Trunk Impairment Scale is a 17-item physical test. It measures trunk motor control, balance, and coordination in a sitting position.
