“…All but 2 studies (37, 40) included information about the participants' gross motor functions and mobility through their Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS) levels, which ranged from level 1 to level 5. Four articles (36,39,40,42) included information about how the participants use their hands and how they manipulate objects, using the Manual Ability Classification Scale (MACS) level, also ranging from 1 to 5.…”

“…The experimental interventions used in the trials were all commercial gaming consoles. Five trials used the Nintendo Wii (38,40,(42)(43)(44), 2 used Xbox 360 (37,39) and one used PlayStation 2 with EyeToy (41), all of which contain motion controllers or a camera that scans the user's movements in order to play the games. Four trials used Wii Sport as the intervention (38,40,42,44), one used Wii Fit (43), 2 used Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures (37,39) and one used EyeToy minigames (41).…”

“…Only one trial included a follow-up assessment, which was performed 12 weeks after after the end of the intervention period (44). Four of the studies had matched the dosage of intervention and swopped part of the usual therapy with MCVG training (37,38,40,41), and 3 trials had MCVG training in addition to the usual therapy (39,42,44).…”

“…In 3 trials the participants performed the intervention twice a week (37,38,41), in 3 trials 3 times a week (39,42,44) and in 2 trials 7 times a week (40,43). The duration of the intervention ranged from 15 to 45 min and the total amount of therapy provided varied from 6 to 108 h.…”

“…Overall, there were many unclear and high risk of bias factors due to lack of reporting. Four of the 8 studies had adequate random sequence generation (39,40,42,44), while 3 studies did not specify how the randomization was done (37,41,43). One study had a high risk of selection bias (38) due to a quasi-random design, in that the participants were divided into groups based on when they arrived at the clinic.…”

LAY ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to examine the effect of motion-controlled commercial video games compared to traditional occupational-and physiotherapy methods on hand and arm function in persons with cerebral palsy. This review has investigated what the already existing Research have found on this subject and the results have been pooled to get a broader view of what effect this Method has for People living With cerebral palsy.The results of this study shows that motion-controlled commercial video games have a greater effect on hand and arm function compared to traditional therapy methods. Which means that motion-controlled commercial video games can be a good Method of training as an addition to traditional methods for therapists working with people with cerebral palsy. Objective: To examine the effect of motion-controlled commercial video games compared with traditional occupational and physiotherapy methods for hand and arm function in persons of all ages with cerebral palsy. Data sources: A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, OTseeker and PEDro for randomized controlled trials involving persons with cerebral palsy using motion-controlled commercial video games as a training method for hand and arm function, compared with traditional therapy. Study selection and data extraction: Screening, data-extraction, risk of bias and quality assessment was carried out independently by 2 of the authors. The risk of bias of each study was assessed using the Cochrane Collaborations Risk of Bias Tool. The quality of evidence was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE).Data synthesis: Eight randomized controlled trials, with a total of 262 participants, were included. A random effects meta-analysis showed a statistically significant difference compared to traditional therapy methods in favour of motion-controlled commercial video games. The quality of the evidence was, however, rated as very low. Conclusion: Despite a significantly greater improvement in hand and arm function in favour of motioncontrolled commercial video games, the results of this review should be interpreted with caution with regards to high risk of bias and the low strength of evidence. There is a need for high-powered studies on the effectiveness of training with motion-controlled commercial video games for persons with cerebral palsy, especially in adults.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a movement disorder caused by brain damage. Virtual reality (VR) can improve motor function and daily life activities in CP patients. This systematic review examines the use of non‐immersive VR in treating CP children. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of non‐immersive VR in rehabilitating CP children as a standalone intervention or in combination with traditional therapy. The review follows the PRISMA guidelines and includes a comprehensive search of five bibliographic databases. Two reviewers independently assess the search results, evaluate full‐text publications, and extract relevant data. The outcomes were described by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health for Children and Youth (ICF‐CY) framework. A total of 20 English‐language studies published between January 2013 and January 2023 are included in the review based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings demonstrate that non‐immersive VR, when used in conjunction with traditional therapy, yields positive effects on body structure and function (hand function, grip strength, and upper extremity function), activity (motor function, activities of daily life [ADL], balance), and participation (caretakers' assessment, usability, motivation, and user satisfaction) in CP children. Moreover, non‐immersive VR alone is found to be more efficient than traditional therapy in improving manual dexterity in CP children. The non‐immersive VR can be effective in rehabilitating CP children, and the review concludes by recommending future research with larger sample sizes and randomized trials to investigate further the potential benefits of non‐immersive VR in this population.
