This review examines the utilization of virtual reality (VR) technology as an innovative method to enhance arm function rehabilitation in stroke patients, such as a 75-year-old woman named Sara, facing challenges with her left arm post-stroke. By analyzing various health databases, including PubMed and Cochrane, the potential benefits and effectiveness of VR interventions will be highlighted. We aim to provide therapists with evidence-based insights that can guide decision-making in improving arm functionality through engaging, immersive therapeutic experiences.
