A comprehensive Cochrane review encompassing 190 trials and over 7,000 stroke patients highlights virtual reality (VR) as a beneficial adjunct therapy for improving arm motor function during stroke rehabilitation. VR technologies, ranging from basic gaming systems to immersive headsets, engage patients more effectively than conventional repetitive physical therapy, leading to modest but significant functional gains. Enhanced patient motivation through interactive VR translates to increased therapy time, correlating with better recovery. Effects on balance and activity limitations also show promise. These findings support VR’s integration into rehabilitation protocols to augment traditional therapies and improve functional outcomes post-stroke.
