Virtual Reality and Physiotherapy in Post-Stroke Functional Re-Education of the Lower Extremity: A Controlled Clinical Trial on a New Approach
TLDR
The results indicate that the intervention with VR is a feasible treatment in the post-stroke functional re-education of the LE, with the potential to be an optimal complement of CP.
Design of the Lower Limb Rehabilitation Training System Based on Virtual Reality
TLDR
A virtual reality rehabilitation training system based on the lower limb rehabilitation robot of the team was proposed, which organically combined visual feedback, vibration feedback and sound feedback with the lower limbs rehabilitation robot.
The effect of robot therapy assisted by surface EMG on hand recovery in post-stroke patients. A pilot study
TLDR
The effect of robot therapy assisted by surface EMG on hand recovery in post-stroke patients showed improvement in hand grasp and overall function of the upper limb.
The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation in Patients with Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis
TLDR
The effectiveness of VR-based rehabilitation is unclear, although interventions based on VR are promising in view of pain management, postural and proprioception training, however, this evidence is not sufficient to create clinical guidelines and further high-quality studies are needed.

Reinforced Feedback in Virtual Environment for Plantar Flexor Poststroke Spasticity Reduction and Gait Function Improvement
TLDR
The combined treatment of TR and RFVE showed encouraging results regarding the reduction of spasticity and improvement of gait function and an early commencement of the treatment seems to be ideal, and future research should increase the sample size and assessment tools.
Virtual reality training enhances gait poststroke: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
Findings from this review provide evidence for the effectiveness of VR‐based gait training for stroke survivors by conducting both between‐ and within‐group meta‐analyses to provide a state of evidence for VR.

Postural Rehabilitation Within the VRRS (Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System) Environment
TLDR
To maintain a stable upright stance, with adaptive strategies for orientation and balance, information processed through the somatosensory, visual and vestibular systems needs to be integrated to be effective.
Virtual reality exposure therapy for neuro-psychomotor recovery in adults: a systematic review
TLDR
Virtual reality supports the rehabilitation process of neuro-psychomotor functions, allowing potential gains in the patients’ recovery, and has minimal adverse effects during the virtual therapies performance, suggesting virtual reality as a safe rehabilitation tool compared to other therapies.

A Decade of Progress Using Virtual Reality for Poststroke Lower Extremity Rehabilitation: Systematic Review of the Intervention Methods
TLDR
It suggests that VR intervention (more than 10 sessions) in stroke patients may have a positive impact on balance, and gait recovery, and a multimodal approach, combining VR and conventional physiotherapy, was used.

TLDR
The current "state of the art" for virtual reality (VR) applications in the field of motor rehabilitation is reviewed and movements learned by people with disabilities in VR transfer to real world equivalent motor tasks in most cases, and in some cases even generalize to other untrained tasks.

TLDR
It is suggested that ankle to computer VR systems may help stroke patients improve gait function and this VR system has potential as an adjunctive therapy or home program requiring minimal supervision.

TLDR
There is evidence to support the use of virtual reality for the promotion of walking in people with sequelae of stroke, despite the diversity of protocols, participants’ characteristics, and the number of participants included in each study.
