Pediatric stroke is a serious neurological condition that may lead to motor, cognitive, speech, and psychosocial impairments. Rehabilitation plays a key role in restoring lost functions and improving the child’s quality of life. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly used as an innovative rehabilitation tool. VR-based therapy provides interactive, motivating, and repetitive exercises that may improve motor control, balance, coordination, and cognitive engagement. This article discusses the effectiveness of virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children after stroke, focusing on its mechanisms, benefits, clinical applications, and limitations. Current evidence suggests that VR can be a useful additional method alongside conventional rehabilitation, although more pediatric-specific studies are needed.
