Effects of Wii-Fit games training on motor skills, balance, and agility in children with developmental coordination disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Wii-Fit training may improve motor skills and balance in children with DCD, with a potential but inconclusive effect on agility. These results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes, variability in outcome measures, and moderate methodological quality across the included studies. Further large-scale, rigorously designed RCTs are needed to confirm these preliminary findings. The study protocol was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251073789).
