Leveraging Extended Reality Exergaming and Telehealth to Improve Physical Activity and Health in Children With Disabilities

11 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: Byron Lai, University of Alabama at Birmingham
This phase II RCT evaluates the efficacy of a telehealth-delivered extended reality (XR) exergaming intervention on physical activity, cardiometabolic health, and physical fitness in physically inactive children with cerebral palsy (ages 10 to 17). A total of 130 participants will be randomized to either a 12-week XR exergaming intervention with behavioral coaching or a non-intervention control group, followed by a 24-week sustainability phase. Aim 1 examines immediate and sustained effects on physical activity levels. Aim 2 tests effects on cardiometabolic health indicators including blood lipids, blood pressure, and glycemic markers. Aim 3 explores effects on physical fitness and perceived health. All procedures are conducted remotely via telehealth.

¿Qué mide el estudio?

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
The GLTEQ is a 7-day recall survey. The GLTEQ will be scored using a health contribution (HC) score, which equates an HC score of ≥24 to the minimum aerobic guideline of 150 mins/week of moderate exercise.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Daily Step Count
Periodo de tiempo: weeks 0-36
Steps per day, captured using the Polar Unite wrist watch.
weeks 0-36

Medidas de resultado secundarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Changes in C-reactive Protein (hsCRP)
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
hsCRP (mg/L) is a critical marker of inflammation that contributes to pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic elements of CVD risk. A single hsCRP measure is a strong predictor of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease mortality, and several other diseases of the circulatory system in people without a history of such conditions.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Hemoglobin A1C
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
HbA1C (mmol/mol) measures mean hemoglobin glycation over the previous three months.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Fasting Insulin
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
High fasting insulin indicates the presence of insulin resistance. Exercise interventions can expect a small beneficial change in fasting insulin levels after 1-month of training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Fasting Triglycerides
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
A triglyceride level >150 mg/dL, is largely supported as an indicator of CVD risk. Exercise interventions can expect a small beneficial change in triglyceride levels following 1-month of training, even among people with normal triglyceride levels.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in High-density Lipoprotein
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
High-density lipoprotein (HDL; mg/dL) cholesterol is a predictor of future CVD among young and middle-aged people. Exercise interventions can expect a small effect after 1-month of training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Low-density Lipoprotein
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL; mg/dL) cholesterol is a predictor of future CVD among young and middle-aged people. Exercise interventions can expect a small effect after 1-month of training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Total Cholesterol
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Total cholesterol (mg/dL) is a predictor of future CVD among young and middle-aged people. Exercise interventions can expect a small effect after 1-month of training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Resting Systolic Blood Pressure
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Elevated blood pressure (mmHg) during childhood and adolescents is associated with intermediate markers and hard outcomes of CVD in adulthood. Moderate-intensity exercise is negatively associated with blood pressure. Small changes in blood pressure can occur from as early as 1-month of endurance training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Changes in Resting Diastolic Blood Pressure
Periodo de tiempo: week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
Elevated blood pressure (mmHg) during childhood and adolescents is associated with intermediate markers and hard outcomes of CVD in adulthood. Moderate-intensity exercise is negatively associated with blood pressure. Small changes in blood pressure can occur from as early as 1-month of endurance training.
week 0, week 6, week 12, week 24, week 36
2-Minute Step Test
Periodo de tiempo: Week 0, Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
2 minute test is used to assess aerobic capacity by counting the number of steps an individual takes, hitting a target point, in 2 minutes. Individuals can hold on to supports for duration of the test. 2-minute step test will be for only ambulatory individuals. Higher number of steps in 2-minutes equates to higher aerobic capacity.

Timed Up and Go (TUG)
Periodo de tiempo: Week 0, Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
TUG is a 3-meter walking test to assess an individuals functional balance and mobility. Individuals will start in a seated position, stand, walk 3-meters turning around a cone, walk back and sit down. Time will be measured in seconds, with lower time equating to higher functional balance and mobility.
Week 0, Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
Hand-grip Strength Test (hand-held dynamometer)
Periodo de tiempo: Week 0, Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
Measure of isometric muscular strength of the hand and forearm. Using a hand-held dynamometer, individuals will hold onto device with arm supported at a 90 degree angle and squeeze as hard as they can for 3 seconds. Individuals will do 3 test on each hand, as able, with the average of the 3 attempt being their score. Hand-grip strength will be measured in kg, with higher values equating to more strength.

The sum of all 7 questions will be used to determine the individuals total score which will be referenced to a z-score conversion table, with higher scores equating to better overall health.
Week 0, Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
Changes in Body Weight
Periodo de tiempo: Week 0,Week 6, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36
