  3. 9th International Conference on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technologies Laval, France September 10–12, 2012 Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP):various motor impairments caused by damage to the central nervous system during foetal development Physical therapy is need; - Improve their movement patterns. - Maintain the range of the affected arm/leg joints. It affects about 0.3%of births (Krageloh-Mann, and Cans, 2009) It often manifests itself during childhood Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) It encourages the use of the affected hand by restricting the unaffected hand and asking for intensive movement with the impaired upper limb Having the "good" arm blocked for long periods of time can generate frustration in the child More "child-friendly" approaches are needed

  4. 9th International Conference on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technologies Laval, France September 10–12, 2012 Introduction Traditional CP Therapy: is often of little interest to a child, affecting his motivation to continue such therapeutic activities (Schmidt, and Lee, 2005) Traditional CP Therapy is not motivating and entertaining for child Virtual Reality (VR): systems offer the capability to achieve rehabilitative goals through the use of real-time feedback and adaptive strategy/difficulty (Le Gal et al., 2008) VR remains motivating and entertaining Goal of project: is to develop a “child-friendly, motivating, and entertaining” rehabilitation system for children with CP
