- Abstract
Virtual reality Training (VRT) is a technology that allows a user to interact in a virtual world that appears real to the user. According to some studies, VRT improves the balance of chronic and acute stroke patients. According to other studies, VRT is only effective in patients with chronic post-stroke after six months. As a result, the goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of virtual reality training in post-stroke patients. From 2012 and 2022, relevant English-language study strategies such as “ virtual reality training,” “balance,” and “stroke” were available through databases such as ScienceDirect, PEDro, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria for this review were an article with an RCT method used to study stroke patients in both acute and chronic phases in this review. The study was analyzed using a PICO (population or problem, intervention, comparison, outcome) framework, which was developed as a key component in the review process. A total of 7 articles met the criteria, with a PEDro score of 6 on average. VRT for intervention revealed a significant improvement in balance as measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and Balance with Tinetti’s POMA (Performance Oriented Mobility) with P < 0.001 when comparing before and after treatment. This review provides evidence of the effectiveness of post-stroke patient interventions for balance during the chronic phase.
