The evidence for using virtual reality (VR) with children with cerebral palsy (CP) was examined.
A search of 13 electronic databases identified all types of studies examining VR as an intervention for children with CP. The most recent article included was published in October 2008. For each study, the quality of the methods was assessed using the appropriate scale. A total of 19 articles were retrieved. Thirteen studies from 11 articles were included in the final analysis.
Outcomes documented brain reorganization/plasticity, motor capacity, visual-perceptual skills, social participation and personal factors. Two studies were randomized controlled trials. These reported conflicting results regarding motor outcomes. Twelve of the 13 studies presented positive outcomes in at least one domain.
VR has potential benefits for children with CP. However, the current level of evidence is poor and empirical data is lacking. Future methodologically rigorous studies are required.
研究使用虚拟现实(VR)对脑瘫(CP)儿童进行干预的证据。
检索13个电子数据库,确定所有将VR作为CP儿童干预措施的各类研究。纳入的最新文章发表于2008年10月。对每项研究,使用适当的量表评估方法质量。共检索到19篇文章。最终分析纳入了11篇文章中的13项研究。
结果记录了大脑重组/可塑性、运动能力、视觉感知技能、社会参与和个人因素。两项研究为随机对照试验。这些研究在运动结果方面报告了相互矛盾的结果。13项研究中的12项在至少一个领域呈现出积极结果。
VR对CP儿童有潜在益处。然而,目前的证据水平较低且缺乏实证数据。未来需要进行方法严谨的研究。
