Effect of virtual reality-based training on postural balance in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Virtual reality, an emerging rehabilitation technology, is increasingly used to improve postural balance in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. This review evaluated the effectiveness of virtual reality interventions for improving postural balance in this population based on randomized controlled trials.

Materials and methods

PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang were systematically searched from database inception through November 6, 2025, for English- and Chinese-language randomized controlled trials examining virtual reality-based interventions on objective measures of postural balance in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Cochrane
