This study examined whether a tele-rehabilitation training app originally developed for girls with Rett syndrome could also be used by adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy and intellectual and developmental disability. Twelve participants aged 13–20 years from ALYN Hospital received a personalized three-week intervention program using the app and wearable measurement devices. Most were unable to operate the system independently, but those who did showed statistically significant increases in step count and sit-to-stand transitions, and qualitatively reported improvements in balance, stair climbing, and social participation. The findings indicate promising potential, provided close guidance and validated assessment measures are implemented.
