Abstract

The growing incidence of brain injuries highlights the need for advancements in rehabilitation techniques. Virtual reality (VR) is emerging as a promising tool to complement traditional rehabilitation by addressing cognitive and functional deficits associated with brain damage. While initial research has focused on VR’s role in cognitive assessments, there is a notable shift toward using VR for rehabilitation training. This paper reviews studies that explore the application of VR in mitigating impairments such as executive dysfunction, memory loss, spatial disorientation, attention deficits, and unilateral neglect. Additionally, it examines VR’s potential in improving the quality of life by overcoming post-injury limitations. As VR technology continues to evolve, its integration into brain injury rehabilitation is expected to become a cornerstone for cognitive recovery and functional improvement.
