Overview
Brief Summary
This study was designed to establish the clinical evidence for effect of video-game based rehabilitation therapy system using IMU sensors as a game interface, newly-developed in Korea, on upper limb function of children with cerebral palsy. First, the investigators would compare the effect of video-game based rehabilitation therapy to conventional occupational therapy.
Detailed Description
* Purpose: to elucidate the effect of video-game based rehabilitation therapy system on upper limb function of children with cerebral palsy compared to conventional occupational therapy * Subjects: total 30 children with cerebral palsy whose upper limb functions are impaired (all 30 children will receive the conventional occupational therapy, but 15 of these children will receive the additional video-game based rehabilitation therapy) * Intervention: 4 weeks of therapy (6 days per week) * Studies: functional MRI, computerized motion analysis, upper limb functional assessment (MUUL, ULPRS), ADL evaluation, cognitive evaluation * Evaluation plan: 1) pre-intervention, 2) post-4 weeks of intervention, 3) 8 weeks after end of intervention

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Total score of Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function
Time Frame: 8 weeks
MUUL is the test of unilateral upper limb function is a validated and reliable tool for evaluating quality of upper limb movement in children with neurological conditions. It comprises 14 test items of reaching to, grasping, releasing and manipulating simple objects. Scoring is completed for the 30 item scores using a three, four or five point scale and the individually defined scoring criteria. The test will be done by occupational therapist. The total score of MUUL will be used for analysis.
Secondary Outcomes
- Total score of upper limb physician's rating scale (ULPRS)(8 week)
- Kinematic data of computerized 3D motion analysis(8 week)
- Scaled scores of Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI-selfcare)(8 week)
