Over the last decade, Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a cutting-edge technology in stroke rehabilitation. VR is defined as a type of user-computer interface that implements real-time simulation of an activity or environment allowing user interaction via multiple sensory modalities. VR interventions in a stroke population have been shown to be equivalent to usual care therapies and to enhance motor recovery when utilized as an adjunct. Significance/Impact/Innovation.
