Virtual Reality treatment of three dimensional images and animations which are created in computer environment in their mind and interacting with the objects in that environment via technological tools and it is a new and effective method for the treatment of Cerebral palsy children. In this systematic review, 138 studies published between 2008-2016 were examined. The Pubmed and National thesis centers (YÖKTEZ) were searched using search keywords: 'cerebral palsy virtual reality', 'cerebral palsy virtual rehabilitation', 'virtual reality', 'virtual rehabilitation'. Despite the fact that the number of articles examined in the study was 138, 20 studies covering the limitations were included. As a result of the researches;virtual reality treatment can be used for treatments and they not only provide people with a high degree of motivation, interest, satisfaction, but also bring about an increase in the rate of participation. In adition, they provide developments in children’s postural control strategies, motor function tests, walking and the center of gravity, effectivity in developing visual perception, as well as making beter hand/foot muscle strenght ang range of motion. But the number of randomized controlled trials was found to be low. For this reason, more extensive work with validity and reliability is needed
