Our findings suggest that VR-assisted exergaming may have some advantages over conventional rehabilitation in improving CP children's functioning and performance in daily life activities, upper and lower limb mobility, and cognition. VR-assisted exergaming seems to be as effective as conventional physiotherapy in the other studied function measures. With its potential efficacy, better feasibility, no reported side effects, and entertaining experience, VR-assisted exergaming may be a viable complementary approach to conventional physiotherapy in rehabilitating children with CP.
