Overview

Critical narrative review evaluates effectiveness of virtual reality and robotics in motor recovery, highlighting challenges in clinical implementation.

Key Points

  • Virtual reality showed small-to-moderate improvements in upper-limb function for stroke survivors, particularly with immersive systems.
  • Robotics improved daily living activities and strength in upper-limb rehabilitation, but modestly compared to traditional therapy methods.
  • End-effector robots were better for proximal arm recovery, while exoskeletons excelled in distal hand function.
  • Clinical adoption of VR and robotics requires standardized protocols and inclusion of diverse populations for better outcomes.
