Systematic review demonstrates hybrid VR combined with conventional therapy improves motor function in stroke patients, suggesting enhanced rehabilitation.
Key Points
Hybrid VR and conventional therapy interventions improved motor function and manual dexterity in stroke patients, surpassing standard therapy alone.
Meta-analysis showed a standardized mean difference of 0.44 for motor function and 0.33 for manual dexterity with hybrid interventions.
Observational analysis across 27 RCTs revealed consistent benefits of hybrid sessions averaging 31 to 59 minutes daily post-stroke.
Results indicate using virtual reality alongside conventional therapy may enhance rehabilitation outcomes for stroke survivors.
