OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of virtual reality on arm motor impairment, activity limitation, participation restriction, and quality of life in patients with stroke. To determine potential moderators that affect the efficacy of virtual reality. DATA SOURCES: CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data from inception to October 23, 2021. REVIEW METHODS: Randomized controlled trials that investigated the effect of virtual reality on arm recovery in adult patients with stroke compared to conventional therapy or sham control were included. Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale was used to assess the methodological quality of each study. CONCLUSION: Virtual reality is recommended for improving motor impairment and activities of daily living after stroke and is favorable to patients with moderate to severe paresis. An immersive design could produce greater improvement.
