Abstract

Stroke survivors often experience debilitating neural, physical, and cognitive impairments, particularly affecting upper limb functions. Conventional rehabilitations, though effective, are perceived as slow and monotonous by stroke survivors. This review explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) as an engaging rehabilitation approach to address such limitations. Our findings show that VR-based rehabilitations can be beneficial in restoring post-stroke upper limb functions and improving routine life of survivors. Moreover, VR offers adaptability, and user-friendliness across age groups. However, further research with larger sample size studies and stronger evidence base is needed to definitively establish the effectiveness of VR in post-stroke rehabilitation.

虚拟现实作为治疗中风的非常规康复手段：综合评述

脑卒中幸存者通常会出现神经、身体和认知障碍，尤其是上肢功能。传统的康复训练虽然有效，但在中风幸存者看来却缓慢而单调。本综述探讨了虚拟现实（VR）作为一种引人入胜的康复方法在解决这些局限性方面的潜力。我们的研究结果表明，基于 VR 的康复训练有助于恢复中风后上肢的功能，改善幸存者的日常生活。此外，VR 还具有适应性强、用户友好等特点，适用于不同年龄段的人群。然而，要最终确定 VR 在中风后康复中的有效性，还需要更多的样本研究和更强大的证据基础。
