Research on the application of VR in neurological rehabilitation.

Type of Disease Conclusions Literature
Stroke The immersive experience and interactivity of VR can stimulate patients’ active cooperation and improve patients’ cognitive and psychological states. [32,33,34]
VR technology can help stimulate stroke patients to recover limb function. [35,36]
Conversational therapy in the VR environment is useful for language recovery in post-stroke aphasia patients. [37,38]
Geriatric cognitive impairment Virtual reality-based cognitive training (VRCT) enhances the brain, cognitive, and physical health of older adults with MCI, and it is more effective than traditional therapies. [39,40,41]
Parkinson’s disease VR improves the cognitive function, learning, and memory of Parkinson’s patients. [42,43,44]
VR has a significant effect on motor rehabilitation in Parkinson’s patients. [45,46,47]
Traumatic brain injury VR boosts cognitive and behavioral abilities in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. [48,49]
Vestibular rehabilitation Regular and frequent application of visual stimulation has a positive influence on the vestibular adaptation mechanism. [50,51,52]
Neurological rehabilitation in children Rehabilitation intervention based on VR improves the cognitive function of hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) children. [3,53,54,55]
VR intervention for children with dyslexia promotes treatment outcomes. [56]
