CASE SUMMARY: The boy presented with moderate mobility, balance, and overall well-being. He faced challenges with diminished lower limb strength, which affected his daily living and physical fitness capabilities. Our participant was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic CP at GMFCS level II. He participated in a 6-wk program of VBT using a play station. This innovative approach incorporates warm-up exercises, interactive activities, and cool-down routines, targeting various movements, including single-leg stance, weight shifting, kicking, jumping, marching, and squatting. After VBT, the strength of the left hip extensor significantly increased from 199.3 N to 541.3 N. Distance covered as part of a 6-min walk test increased by 82 m. His Paediatric QoL Inventory score increased dramatically by 25.9%.
CONCLUSION: VBT is an innovative, individualized therapy that enhances physical function and QoL in CP, emphasizing its role in ambulatory patients.
