Introduction: The limitations in performing functional activities in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy are important. The use of virtual reality systems is a new treatment approach that reinforces task-oriented motor learning. The purpose of this guide is to study the impact of the use of virtual reality systems in the improvement and acquisition of functional skills, and to evaluate the scientific evidence to determine the strength of recommendation of such interventions.Development: All available full-text articles, regardless of their methodology, were included.The following databases were consulted: PubMed (Medline), PEDro, EMBASE (OVID-Elsevier), Cochrane Library, Medline (OVID), CINAHL, ISI Web Knowledge. An assessment was made of methodological quality, the level of scientific evidence, and the strength of recommendations using the tools: Critical Review Form for Quantitative Studies and the Guidelines for Critical Review Form for Quantitative Studies and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Finally, we included 13 articles and 97 participants were recruited. We obtained significant improvements in outcome measures that assessed postural control and balance, upper limb function, the selective joint control, and gait. Conclusions:The guide has some limitations: the limited number of patients enrolled, clinical diversity and age range, as well as the methodological quality of existing trials. Virtual reality is a promising tool in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. There is strong scientific evidence of an acceptable recommendation for the use of virtual reality systems in the treatment of cerebral palsy.Empleo de sistemas de realidad virtual como método de propiocepción en parálisis cerebral: guía de práctica clínica Resumen Introducción: Las limitaciones para realizar actividades funcionales en niños y adolescentes con parálisis cerebral son importantes. El empleo de sistemas de realidad virtual constituye un nuevo enfoque de tratamiento que refuerza el aprendizaje motor orientado a tareas. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar qué repercusión tiene el empleo de sistemas de realidad virtual en la mejora y adquisición de habilidades funcionales; y evaluar la evidencia científica existente para determinar qué fuerza de recomendación tienen dichas intervenciones.Desarrollo: Se incluyeron todos los artículos disponibles a texto completo independientemente de su metodología. Se consultaron las siguientes bases de datos: Pubmed (Medline), PEDro, Embase (OVID-Elsevier), Cochrane Library Plus, Medline (OVID), CINHAL, ISI web Knowledge. Se evaluaron la calidad metodológica, el nivel de evidencia científica y la fuerza de las recomendaciones con las herramientas: Critical Review Form-Quantitative Studies and the Guidelines for Critical Review Form-Quantitative Studies y U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Finalmente, se incluyeron 13 artículos y se reclutó a 97 participantes. Se obtuvieron mejoras significativas en medidas de resultado que evalúan el control postural y el equi...
Introduction: Stroke is currently the main cause of permanent disability in adults. The impairments are a combination of sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional changes that result in restrictions on the ability to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL). Postural control is affected and causes problems with static and dynamic balance, thus increasing the risk of falls and secondary injuries. The purpose of this review was to compile the literature to date, and assess the impact of ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on postural control and gait in individuals who have suffered a stroke. Development:The review included randomised and controlled trials that examined the effects of AFO in stroke patients between 18 and 80 years old, with acute or chronic evolution. No search limits on the date of the studies were included, and the search lasted until April 2011. The following databases were used: Pubmed, Trip Database, Cochrane library, Embase, ISI Web Knowledge, CINHAL and PEDro. Intervention succeeded in improving some gait parameters, such as speed and cadence. However it is not clear if there was improvement in the symmetry, postural sway or balance.Conclusions: Because of the limitations of this systematic review, due to the clinical diversity of the studies and the methodological limitations, these results should be considered with caution. Accidente cerebrovascular; Control postural; Equilibrio; Marcha; Ortesis tobillo pie Efecto de la ortesis de tobillo pie en el control postural tras el accidente cerebrovascular: revisión sistemática Resumen Introducción: El accidente cerebrovascular (ictus) actualmente es la primera causa de discapacidad permanente en la edad adulta por sus consecuentes secuelas, quedando una combinación de deficiencias sensoriales, motoras, cognitivas y emocionales que conducen a restricciones en su capacidad para realizar actividades básicas de la vida diaria (ABVD). El control postural se afecta y da lugar a problemas en el equilibrio estático y dinámico que incrementan el riesgo de caídas. El objetivo de la revisión consiste en realizar una revisión sistemática que permita valorar los efectos de las ortesis de tobillo (OTP) en el control postural y en la marcha, en sujetos que han presentado un ictus.Desarrollo: Se incluyeron ensayos controlados y aleatorizados que analizasen los efectos de las ortesis de tobillo en pacientes con ictus de entre 18 y 80 años, con evolución aguda o crónica. La búsqueda de ensayos no tuvo limitación en fecha de inicio y se extendió hasta marzo de 2011. Se emplearon las bases de datos Pubmed, Trip Database, Cochrane Library Plus, Embase, ISI Web knowledge, CINHAL y PEDro.Conclusiones: La intervención logró mejorar algunos parámetros de la marcha como velocidad y cadencia. Sin embargo, no está clara la mejora en la simetría del peso, el balanceo postural o el equilibrio. Las limitaciones de esta revisión sistemática, debidas a la gran diversidad clínica de los estudios que incluye y las limitaciones metodológicas de estos, justifican una lectura precavida de...

The guide has some limitations: the limited number of patients enrolled, clinical diversity and age range, as well as the methodological quality of existing trials. Virtual reality is a promising tool in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. There is strong scientific evidence of an acceptable recommendation for the use of virtual reality systems in the treatment of cerebral palsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
