Brief summary
Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorder of CP are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behaviour; by epilepsy, and by secondary musculoskeletal problems. Motor activities, especially walking, can be affected by many factors including sensory deficits, biomechanical and postural limitations, muscle weakness and spasticity.To provide feedback, during gait rehabilitation is a complementary approach to improve motor learning during the rehabilitation protocol. However, the feedback modalities are multiple and no study has compared these modalities. This study aims to test which feedback modalities could control the gait parameters (speed, cadence, step length) of the child with CP in real-time, through an augmented reality environment.
Interventions
DEVICEFeedback modalities given through an augmented reality headset
All children wear the augmented reality headset. After a habituation period to the holograms, they start the protocol. It consists of a warm-up session, training session (which three feedback modalities are presented), calibration session (to get the maximal speed and spontaneous speed of the child), and test session. During test session, all the children walk on the 30m corridor. They have 6 feedback modalities + the control, given randomly. On the way out, they have to walk fast as possible ; on the return they have to walk at intermediate speed.
