Exercise Intensity Of Interactive Video Gaming in Cerebral Palsy
- Conditions
- Cerebral Palsy
- Interventions
- Other: Exercise with active video games
- Registration Number
- NCT04759677
- Lead Sponsor
- Medipol University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the energy consumption and exercise intensities obtained from an activity classifier obtained from a triaxial acceleration signal collected from the wrist and hip during active video games in children with ambulated Cerebral Palsy. .
All 20 individuals with CP will participate in a total of 2 exercise sessions on consecutive days with 45 minutes of active video games. In two exercise season individuals will play 4 games that were previously determined and experienced for about 45 minutes. During the training sessions, exercise intensity will be evaluated with the accelerometer.
The accelerometer will be placed on the dominant wrist of 20 individuals during one training session. The same 20 individuals will participate in the other exercise session and the accelerometer will be placed on the dominant side hip area of the individuals this time. Exercise intensity values obtained from 2 different training sessions will be compared.
Exercise intensity will be measured by an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer during the interventions.
For both intervention sessions, a statistical comparison will made between groups in terms of energy consumption, activity counts, and active duration.
- Detailed Description
More validation studies are needed to document the most appropriate place (wrist or waist) to capture limb movement and / or energy consumption (capturing) during physical activity in children with CP at different functional levels. Such information has the potential to guide interventions to improve daily activity throughout life, with potential implications for participation and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to compare the energy consumption and exercise intensities obtained from an activity classifier obtained from a triaxial acceleration signal collected from the wrist and hip during active video games in children with ambulated Cerebral Palsy. Thus, it is thought that reaching the targeted physical activity intensity with active video games in individuals with CP in the clinic can be evaluated with an appropriate and accurate accelerometer placement.
Functional levels of individuals will be determined according to GMFCS. All 20 individuals with CP will participate in a total of 2 exercise sessions with on consecutive days with 45 minutes of active video games. In two exercise season individuals will play 4 games that were previously determined and experienced for about 45 minutes. During the training sessions, exercise intensity will be evaluated with the accelerometer.
The accelerometer will be placed on the dominant wrist of 20 individuals during one training session. The same 20 individuals will participate in the other exercise session and the accelerometer will be placed on the dominant side hip area of the individuals this time. Exercise intensity values obtained from 2 different training sessions will be compared.
Exercise intensity (energy consumption (MET), activity counts, active time during session) will be measured by an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer during the interventions. After the measurements were over, the accelerometer data will be loaded on a personal computer and manipulated in ActiLife software version 6.13.3.
For both intervention sessions, a statistical comparison will made between groups in terms of energy consumption, activity counts, and active duration. Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSSc 22.00 package program. Number and percentage will be used for demographic data, mean ± standard deviation notation and descriptive data. In the dependent variables, inter-measurement changes will be evaluated with Wilcoxon test, inter-measurement changes in independent variables will be evaluated by Mann Whitney U test.

Group Intervention Description the situation where the accelerometer is placed on the wrist during active video games playing Exercise with active video games In one session the accelerometer will place on the dominant wrist Individuals will instructed not to remove and instruct them to wear the device during the session. the situation where the accelerometer is placed on the hip during active video games playing Exercise with active video games In one session the accelerometer will place on a flexible belt by attaching to the hip area at the intersection of the dominant wrist and axillary line. Individuals will instructed not to remove and instruct them to wear the device during the session.
