Overview

Scoping review maps rehabilitation protocols that use robotics and VR in neurological and orthopaedic conditions, suggesting improved care integration.

Key Points

  • The review aims to identify and map rehabilitation protocols utilizing robotics and virtual reality to enhance patient care.
  • Conducted a scoping review to identify existing rehabilitation protocols incorporating robotic and VR technologies.
  • Examined session frequency, duration, patient selection criteria, and integration with traditional therapies.
  • Considered theoretical foundations and reported clinical outcomes of each protocol.
  • Identified gaps in clinical guidance for the implementation of robotic and VR technologies in rehabilitation.
  • Highlighted the need for structured training programs and regulatory frameworks to support clinicians.
  • Proposed a hybrid model of care combining technology with traditional physiotherapy expertise to improve functional outcomes.
