In the researchers' words
Cerebral palsy can make it difficult for children and adolescents to participate consistently in enjoyable physical activity. This study will examine whether a small humanoid robot called NAO can deliver a short, story-based active-play session that encourages movement and participation. Children and adolescents with cerebral palsy will complete one session at BC Children's Hospital. The study will assess whether the intervention is practical to deliver, acceptable to children and caregivers, and safe to use. Participants and caregivers will also provide feedback about their experience. The findings will be used to refine the intervention and plan a future larger trial.
