The Impact of Virtual Reality Therapy on Rehabilitation Outcomes in Patients with Stroke

Project Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) therapy has emerged as a promising intervention in the field of physiotherapy for patients recovering from stroke. This study aimed to investigate the impact of virtual reality therapy on rehabilitation outcomes in patients with stroke. The research design involved a systematic review of literature and a quantitative analysis of data collected from stroke patients undergoing virtual reality therapy. The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy in improving motor function, balance, and overall quality of life in stroke survivors.
