Materials and Methods: In this current randomized clinical trial, 34 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The upper limb performance was evaluated by using QUEST test. Both groups received the occupational therapy in a similar way In addition, children in the intervention group played Xbox-kinect bimanual games half an hour twice a week for eight weeks. Then the upper limb performance was evaluated again. Results: The results of ANCOVA indicated a significant difference between control and treatment groups (P< 0/001). Conclusion: The results indicated that participation of hemiplegic children in virtual games, such as xbox kinect games, has significant effects on upper limb function improvement in children with hemiplegic cereberal palsy.
