A Short Communication on Virtual Reality for Neurorehabilitation in Post Stroke Patients

Abstract

Stroke is a neurologic condition that is regarded globally as the primary cause of disability. It is the second most prevalent cause of death and the third-leading cause of death and disability due to its motor cognitive and sensory sequelae. Stroke patients who experience balance dysfunctions are more likely to fall and physiotherapy rehabilitation is crucial in lowering this risk. With its ability to provide experience of virtual world and multisensorial inputs to train balance in stroke patients virtual reality VR appears to be a viable alternative to traditional physiotherapy. This short communication proposes that a cutting-edge supplemental therapy called immersive virtual reality IVR may be used in neurorehabilitation to aid in this populations balance dysfunction.
