Abstract

To analyse the efficacy of Nintendo Wii therapy (NWT) on functional balance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). A systematic review with meta-analysis (PROSPERO identification number CRD42020169510) was performed using randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the effect of NWT on functional, dynamic, and static balance in children with CP, assessed with the Pediatric Balance Scale, the Timed Get Up and Go Test, and the One Leg Stance Test respectively. The pooled effect was calculated using the Cohen's standardized mean difference (SMD). Eleven RCTs with 270 children (when sex was reported: 43% females, 57% males) with CP (mean age [SD] 10y 1mo [1y 1mo], range 5-16y) were included. On functional balance, we found very low-quality evidence with a large effect of NWT compared with no intervention (SMD 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-1.89) and moderate-quality evidence for using NWT plus conventional physical therapy (CPT) versus CPT (SMD 0.78, 95% CI 0.20-1.35) in sessions of approximately 30 minutes (SMD 0.86, 95% CI 0.20-1.52) and interventions lasting longer than 3 weeks (SMD 1.03, 95% CI 0.58-1.47). For dynamic balance, very low-quality evidence for a medium effect for using NWT plus CPT versus CPT (SMD 0.7...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
