Abstract
Virtual reality (VR), coupled with motion tracking, can investigate walking in a controlled setting while applying various walking challenges. The purpose of this review was to summarize the evidence on consequences of VR on biomechanical gait parameters in children with cerebral palsy. MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science were searched. Among 7.574 studies, screened by two independent reviewers, seven studies were included, analyzing treadmill (n = 6) or overground walking (n = 1) under VR. Most frequently reported were the spatiotemporal parameters walking speed, stride length, step width, stance phase, and the kinematic parameters range of knee flexion and peak ankle dorsiflexion. However, methodological approaches and reporting of the results were inconsistent among studies. This review reveals that VR can complement information gained from clinical gait analysis. However, this is still an emerging field of research and there is limited knowledge on the effect of VR on gait parameters, notably during overground walking.
期刊介绍：
Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
