Abstract
A rehabilitative approach based on a nonimmersive VR as complementary rehabilitation may improve functional mobility and change joint mobility functions during gait of children with mild unilateral CP. The results of the study demonstrate that the insertion of a therapy based on VR may help in better strategies in the gait of children with CP. Thus, rehabilitation professionals can use this tool combined with conventional therapy.
