Methods: forty children of both sexes having uni-lateral Erb's palsy, their ages ranged from four to six years old participated in this study. They were divided randomly into two groups of equal number (A and B).  They were evaluated using electrical goniometer and Peabody Developmental Motor Scale before and after three successive months of the treatment program. Group A: received selected physical therapy program, where group B, received virtual reality using Wii games  in addition to the program given to group A. 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
