Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows virtual reality therapy improves balance and walking speed in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Key Points

  • Using virtual reality therapy significantly improves balance and walking speed in children with spastic CP.
  • Statistically significant improvements were noted in the Pediatric Balance Scale scores (p=0.013).
  • This randomized controlled trial involved 30 children aged 5–12 years with spastic cerebral palsy.
  • Routine occupational therapy combined with virtual reality offers enhanced balance and mobility benefits.
