OBJECTIVE: To provide a narrative review of studies regarding the outcomes of
Virtual Reality (VR)-based treatment and rehabilitation programmes within the
paediatric population. METHODS: Studies related to the use of VR across a number
of paediatric areas (e.g. cerebral palsy, autism, foetal alcohol syndrome and
attention deficits) were identified and summarized.
RESULTS: Outcomes from the
studies reviewed provide preliminary support for the use of VR. CONCLUSION: VR
may be an effective treatment method for specific disorders, although the
generalizability of this literature is hindered by several methodological
limitations, such as small samples and the absence of appropriate control
participants.
