About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and user satisfaction of a non-immersive VR rehabilitation system, i.e. Rehametrics, for gait and balance training in children with CP in children between 4 to 10 years old. Secondary objectives include assessing the system's impact on functional mobility, gross motor function, balance, active participation, and user experience.

Primary hypothesis: rehabilitation intervention with Rehametrics is feasible and well accepted in a clinical setting for children with CP aged 4 to 10 years.

Participants will train exercises related to balance and gait using Rehametrics platform
