Efficacy of Virtual Reality on Balance in Children With Ataxic Cerebral Palsy Randomized Controlled Trail

August 4, 2024 updated by: walaa eldesoukey heneidy, Delta University for Science and Technology
Ataxic CP is one type of cerebral palsy. children with ataxic cerebral palsy have trouble with balance and coordination. They may walk with their legs farther apart than other kids and have a hard time with activities that use small hand movements, like writing. Some also have trouble with depth perception This means being able to accurately judge how close or far away something is
