The research question

Which motor, postural and balance patterns limit function in cerebral palsy, and how are they changing with rehabilitation?

An objective motor and functional rehabilitation pathway for cerebral palsy, including gross motor function, balance, postural control, gait when ambulatory, and upper- or lower-limb tasks.

ParticipantsChildren, adolescents or adults with cerebral palsy under rehabilitation care.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationAssessment plus repeated rehabilitation sessions.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · CoreIMU

Movement, symmetry, postural stability and functional mobility.

02 · ComplementaryEMG

Activation, timing and co-contraction when relevant.

03 · RehabilitationVR

Task-based motor, balance and reaching exercises when appropriate.

Typical protocol · Health

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define functional level and rehabilitation goals.

02

Measure gross motor, postural, balance and relevant limb tasks.

03

Add EMG for muscle-control questions.

04

Configure progressive rehabilitation tasks, including VR where appropriate.

05

Repeat objective measures to track functional change.
