Results: The results of the study revealed statistically significant improvement in all measured variables of both groups in favor of group B (p<0.001). Conclusion: virtual reality using Wii games therapy in addition to selected physical therapy program is beneficial therapeutic technique to improve shoulder range of motion and functional activities in children with Erb’s palsy
