Abstract
Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a permanent non progressive disorder of movement and posture, associated with functional activity limitations, different sensory and cognitive problems.
Aim of the Study: Were designed to systematic review the effect of visual feedback on motor abilities in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods: A search was made in databases pubmed, Co-chrane and Pedro, for the period from August 2015 to Decem-ber 2016. The inclusion criteria were: Published Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), studies including children (2-18 years) with spastic cerebral palsy, studies which demonstrate the effect of visual feedback including mirror visual feedback and action observation therapy. The outcome measures were balance, gait and hand function. Two independent reviewers assessed the methodological quality and extracted data.
Results: A total number of 233 records, 94 of them were duplicated, 96 of them were excluded after screened the title and abstract, 43 were retrieved by the electronic searches, 38 of them were excluded after reading full article, only 5 articles were met the inclusion criteria. The existing data isn't homog-enous. The current studies were analyzed by using descriptive analysis.
Conclusion: The current level of evidence to support the effectiveness of visual feedback in children with spastic CP remains weak.
