Evaluation of a computer game-assisted rehabilitation program for manual dexterity of children with cerebral palsy: Feasibility randomized control trial.

Background: There is a need for innovation to improve the engagement and compliance of rehabilitation programs for children with upper extremity (UE) motor impairments due to cerebral palsy (CP); a computer games-based rehabilitation platform (GRP) was developed to address this need. The GRP provides engaging task-specific exercises targeting manual dexterity (object handling and manipulation).

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic value and treatment effect size of an exercise program using the GRP in children with CP.
