Overview

Systematic review reveals VR therapy significantly improves balance and mobility in stroke patients, indicating its role in rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • VR therapy shows significant improvements in balance and mobility in stroke survivors compared to conventional therapy.
  • Meta-analysis included 24 randomized controlled trials with a total of 768 participants, providing robust data.
  • Notable enhancements were observed with ≥20 sessions, indicating frequency impacts recovery outcomes.
  • Long-term application of VR therapy (beyond 6 months post-stroke) yields better functional recovery results.
