Abstract

Within the past decade, the integration of computer-generated virtual realities (VRs) has witnessed a significant rise in the field of healthcare, particularly in diagnosis and treatment applications. These VR systems have found extensive use in physical therapy, rehabilitation, research, and assessment. This narrative review article is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the literature regarding the implementation of VR in the physical therapy profession. The primary objective of this review is to provide information to clinicians about the diverse applications of VR and its potential advantages in intervening across various patient populations and diagnoses during rehabilitation therapy. Through in-depth discussions with experts and a thorough review of pertinent literature, several significant aspects of the topic were identified. Subsequently, we carried out an online search to investigate the prevalent utilization of VR systems within healthcare, both as assessment tools and for therapeutic interventions. Our examination encompassed a total of 56 articles, with supplementary references incorporated as required.

在物理治疗中使用虚拟现实技术作为干预和诊断工具

在过去的十年中，计算机生成的虚拟现实（VR）在医疗保健领域，尤其是诊断和治疗应用中得到了广泛应用。这些虚拟现实系统已广泛应用于物理治疗、康复、研究和评估。这篇叙述性综述文章旨在全面概述有关在物理治疗专业中应用虚拟现实技术的文献。本综述的主要目的是向临床医生提供有关 VR 的各种应用及其在康复治疗期间对不同患者群体和诊断进行干预的潜在优势的信息。通过与专家的深入讨论和对相关文献的全面查阅，我们确定了该主题的几个重要方面。随后，我们进行了在线搜索，以调查在医疗保健领域普遍使用 VR 系统作为评估工具和治疗干预的情况。我们共研究了 56 篇文章，并根据需要加入了补充参考文献。
