Abstract
This paper reports on a pilot randomized controlled study on the use of virtual reality (VR) for examining rehabilitation outcomes in children with cerebral palsy. The objectives of the study were to see if changes in the quality of upper-extremity movement and in self-perceived self-efficacy and self concept could be found as a result of VR intervention. There were 19 experimental and 12 control subjects. The main outcome tools for the study were the Harter Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and the Quality of Upper Extremity Test (QUEST). The results were all non-significant with the exception of the Harter's social acceptance subscale (p = .02). These results need to be interpreted with caution, as there was considerable drop out with the control group and variability in the participants. These results do not suggest that VR is more effective than regular OT or PT intervention for children with cerebral palsy. These findings will be discussed to suggest that VR remains a viable rehabilitation tool and further research needs to be done where strategies for control group retention are devised as well as its use in recreation therapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
