Brief summary

In this study the investigators evaluate the effectivity of Virtual Reality-based rehabilitation protocols for preventing motor deterioration in patients with cerebral palsy.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALVR-based motor training

Subjects will perform 3 different training protocols in Virtual Reality that imply performing tasks of vertical and planar reaching and hitting spheres, or hockey pucks, spaced at different time, speed and color.

BEHAVIORALConventional Therapy

Subjects will perform conventional rehabilitation tasks for the upper-extremities that imply vertical and planar reaching movements.
