A wide range of treatments have been used to improve upper arm motor performances in children with congenital hemiplegia. Recent findings are suggesting that virtual reality based intervention could be a promising tool also in pediatric rehabilitation.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Six patients with congenital hemiplegia (age: 4\u201316 years) were recruited among those treated in the Child Neuropsychiatry and Rehabilitation Unit of the IRCCS \u201cSanta Maria Nascente\u201d (Milan, Italy), for a preliminary investigation about using nonimmersive virtual reality for upper limb rehabilitation. Ten sessions using VRRS system (Khymeia, Padova, Italy) were weekly administered as a part of the rehabilitative treatment. Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Limb Movement, Ashworth Scale, and Arm\u2019s PROM were selected as main outcome measures. At the end of treatment, participants filled in an ad hoc satisfaction questionnaire.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. All subjects completed the proposed treatment, and they also gave a positive judgment regarding this rehabilitative method. Melbourne score increased in all patients.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our findings seem to support the evidence that VR treatment could be a promising and engaging tool for pediatric rehabilitation. However, the limited size of the population and the small number of sessions require further investigations and RCTs to confirm our positive results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/695935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,2]],"date-time":"2013-10-02T21:06:12Z","timestamp":1380747972000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Rehabilitation of Children with Hemiparesis: A Pilot Study on the Use of Virtual Reality"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Ivana","family":"Olivieri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2682-5006","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Matteo","family":"Chiappedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Meriggi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0695-4107","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marcella","family":"Mazzola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Attilia","family":"Grandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Angelini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS Foundation, Piazzale Morandi 6, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.2010.01819.x"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-3335"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/109493103322725397"},{"issue":"3","key":"7","first-page":"523","volume":"48","year":"2012","journal-title":"European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2011.04199.x"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000320847"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02699052.2011.558047"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09638288.2011.613520"},{"issue":"4","key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1997.tb07414.x","volume":"39","year":"1997","journal-title":"Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology"},{"key":"12","year":"2002"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968310362672"},{"key":"11","year":"1999"},{"issue":"2","key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/67.2.206","volume":"67","year":"1987","journal-title":"Physical Therapy"},{"issue":"3","key":"2","first-page":"239","volume":"63","year":"2011","journal-title":"Minerva Pediatrica"}],"container-title":["BioMed Research International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/695935.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/695935.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/695935.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,18]],"date-time":"2024-05-18T11:11:05Z","timestamp":1716030665000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/695935\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":14,"alternative-id":["695935","695935"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/695935","relation":{},"ISSN":["2314-6133","2314-6141"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2314-6133","type":"print"},{"value":"2314-6141","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
