Abstract ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major global health concern, the second leading cause of death and the third most common cause of disability. Stroke rehabilitation presents a complex challenge, necessitating innovative approaches to optimize the functional Recovery. Virtual Reality (VR) has become one of the most widely utilised advanced neurorehabilitation technologies for enhancing motor and cognitive abilities in Stroke Patients. Understanding how Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation can optimise brain reorganisation and enhance neuroplasticity is crucial in designing personalised Virtual Reality (VR) interventions that cater each stroke survivor’s unique challenges and potential.
AIM OF THE STUDY: The Primary objective of this review is to explore the efficacy of Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation in Stroke Survivors. Through an in-depth analysis of the current literature, this review aims to investigate the impact of Virtual Reality Based Rehabilitation on various dimensions of Stroke Rehabilitation.
METHODOLOGY: A Computer Search strategy of peer reviewed articles from databases such as PubMed (National library of medicine), Google Scholar, Research Gate was conducted. The search included terms related to stroke rehabilitation, virtual reality and related synonyms.
RESULT AND CONCLUSION: This review highlights that Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation offers a unique immersive experience that enhances patient engagement and motivation during rehabilitation. Moreover, Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation’s capacity to replicate real world scenarios provides stroke survivors with opportunities to practice vital daily activities, promoting functional independence. The ability of Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation to stimulate is real life scenarios offers a unique platform. However, challenges such as cost, equipment, data privacy and acceptance must be addressed for successful integration into stroke rehabilitation practice.
