Shobha Keswani, Sumit Kalra, Rohit Chawla, Nidhi Malik
Abstract :
Stroke is one of the leading causes for disability worldwide . Motor function deficits due to stroke affects the patient‘s
mobility and contribute to overall quality of life. Neurorehabilitation training is the most effective way to reduce motor
impairments in stroke patients. Conventional rehabilitation found to provide modest and sometimes delayed effects. This systematic review
focuses on the impact of Virtual Reality Program on motor rehabilitation of stroke patients. The studies suggested that virtual reality is relatively
recent approach that may enable practice of functional tasks at higher dosage than traditional therapies. From this review of literature , it can be
concluded that Virtual Reality is effective in improving motor functions following stroke. Use of Virtual Reality as an adjunct to conventional
therapy resulted in greater motor gains than conventional therapy alone . The studies included in this review show optimal level of evidence and
grade of recommendations , but further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to draw more reliable conclusion.
