Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation

Virtual Reality (VR) in rehabilitation uses computer-generated environments to help patients recover physical or cognitive abilities. Patients wear VR headsets and interact with simulated scenarios that mimic real-world tasks, such as walking, reaching, or balancing. This immersive technology provides a safe, controlled setting for practicing movements, improving coordination, and regaining independence. VR allows therapists to personalize treatments, monitor progress in real-time, and adapt exercises to individual needs. It enhances motivation by making therapy engaging and interactive, often leading to better outcomes in recovery from injuries or neurological conditions.
