Abstract
Virtual reality is a trendy and easily accessible technology that can enhance the functional capacities of a broad range of rehabilitation patients in a neurological setting by providing visual feedback in real time for motions and improving engagement in entertaining rehabilitation tasks.
Purpose: The study was conducted to find the best evidence of Virtual reality Therapy effectiveness in improving motor gait function, motor hand function, and cognition in patients with multiple sclerosis disease.
Methods: Intensive search was made by electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Pedro. Double-checked the bibliographies was done. The goal of this search was to find randomized control trials that compared virtual reality therapy to traditional rehabilitation for multiple sclerotic patients. After that, the data was retrieved and the methodological quality of each included trial was reviewed. Finally, the data of between pre and post intervention scores were pooled and the aggregate standard mean differences by 95% confidence of interval were calculated.
Results: Sixteen studies were included in the analysis. It was all about multiple sclerosis. Virtual reality may have not a significant effect on cognition, balance, or weariness. Only seven research reported on the outcomes of improving motor in gait and two studies on improving motor hand function in people who received the intervention during a less than three-month follow-up evaluation, and the difference was significant.
Conclusion: Strong Evidence of virtual reality’s effectiveness on motor gait function, Balance and Fatigue outcomes, Weak Evidence of virtual reality’s effectiveness on motor hand function and cognition outcomes in patients having multiple sclerosis was found in the included RCTs
