Description
Maria Krohn and co-authors review virtual reality exercise therapy for balance and walking in people with chronic stroke. Their 2024 systematic review pools randomized controlled trials, with meta-analysis and meta-regression.
Well-targeted balance, walking, and weight-shift training can improve balance long after a stroke. Care that lasts into the chronic phase is needed, without adding staff burden. Trials were gathered from six databases. Outcomes were judged at activity and participation levels. Comparison groups ranged from no treatment to the same therapy without virtual reality. The synthesis asks whether adding virtual reality to therapeutic exercise gives real gains for stroke survivors.
