Abstract
Aims: Stroke incidence has increased recently, causing functional impairments in most patients. Augmented reality(AR) is frequently employed as an interactive and repetitive technology to facilitate functional rehabilitation. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the current evidence in the effect of AR for stroke rehabilitation.
Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis.
Data sources: Seven electronic databases including PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane were searched by MeSH terms and keywords such as 'Stroke' 'Augmented reality' up to December 1, 2024.
Methods: The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to evaluate potential bias. Meta-analysis and Trial Sequence Analysis were used to analyse by the datastata15.0 software and TSA v0.9 software.
Results: We searched 11 studies in a systematic review and 8 in a meta-analysis. The AR training group exhibited a significantly superior Berg Balance Scale scores(BBS) to those of the traditional training group. The Z-value curve of the sixth study crossed the traditional and TSA boundary values. Subgroup analysis revealed that BBS was significantly influenced in the hospital compared to the home intervention. The Timed Up and Go Test scores(TUG) and the 10-Meter Walk Test scores(10MWT) were similar in the AR and traditional training groups.
Conclusion: AR technology is beneficial for the lower limb balance functional rehabilitation of stroke patients. However, further exploration and verification are necessary due to an insufficient number of trials.
Implications for the profession and/or patient care: The findings provide clinical references for implementing AR in rehabilitation interventions for stroke patients.
Impact: This paper is helpful for nurses in the rehabilitation training process of stroke patients, to make personalised plans for their rehabilitation, implement rehabilitation, provide health education and address other aspects of efforts, to provide patients with comprehensive support and help, to promote the functional recovery of patients and improve the quality of life.
Reporting method: PRISMA guidelines.
Trial and protocol registration: PROSPERO number: CRD42024533761.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
