Movement-Based VR Gameplay Therapy For A Child With Cerebral Palsy.

This paper presents a single-subject feasibility study of a motion-based VR game designed to provide benefits similar to constraint-induced movement therapy for children with cerebral palsy, while providing a more enjoyable experience.
