“…Recently, virtual reality (VR) has been considered to rehabilitate stroke patients [3]. A randomized control exploration comparing physical, cognitive, and VR workouts among typical elderly showed noteworthy changes in VR workout as well as in cognitive function, with older grown-ups inclining toward VR exercise to physical workouts [4]. VR may be a computer reenactment environment that is exceptionally comparable to real-world circumstances and scenarios, giving clients a feeling of "being there" physically [5].…”

A stroke can negatively affect several areas of cognitive function. There have been several attempts to improve the disability status of patients with chronic stroke (CS). In recent years, technological innovations such as immersive virtual reality (IVR) systems using head-mounted display (HMD) devices have proven actual in ameliorating motor and mental impairments in patients with neurological illnesses, together with CS. The aim of the study is to prove that an IVR game program using an HMD is as effective as traditional virtual reality rehabilitation, which is expensive and has high set-up costs. The study was designed to evaluate the cognitive and motor outcomes after IVR rehabilitation for eight weeks in patients with CS and to compare them with a control group. All patients were randomized to a control group (17 persons) in conventional cognitive rehabilitation and an experimental group using IVR-HMD (17 persons). The IVR-HMD intercession package (3 periods per weak, 100 minutes per episode) includes virtual reality game content to improve consideration, recall, and dealing out speed. Cognitive assessments were performed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (M.M.S.E.) and Symbolic Digit Substitution Test (S.D.S.T.) before rehabilitation therapy and after treatment. Physical work was evaluated employing a gait speed test, 8-foot up-and-go test, and handgrip test. The autonomous t-test or chii-square test was utilized to measure the distinction between the starting point (start of intercession) factors. After a study, there were no significant changes in MMSE scores within either group. However, on the SDST, the IVR-given group displayed a substantial advance compared to the controller group (before: 33.4 ± 9.0, after: 39.6 ± 9.5, p = 0.02). The group ⁎ time interaction for SDST was also substantial, representing that IVR-based intellectual exercise had a helpful effect on cognitive function.

Exercise programs using virtual reality (VR) been proven effective in relieving symptoms of dementia and delaying the deterioration of it. Nintendo Wii (Wii), a VR game, has been proposed as an easy-to-install and accessible device because it is cheaper and lighter than conventional VR systems. This study aimed to define the effect of a rehabilitation program using Wii, upon the level of cognitive function, depression, and independent performance of daily activities, in early dementia people. The research target population were 40 old men/women suffering with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who were randomly allocated to the VR-game group and the control group, with each group consisting of 20 patients. The VR-game group was provided with a training program using Wii, while the control group received no intervention except conventional elderly care. The intervention period was 12 weeks, during which time a total of 36 sessions were provided, at the rate of three sessions per week of 15 minutes each. The cognitive function was found to have improved in the VR-game group, whereas it got worse in the control group after the program. A comparison of the scores in the Geriatric Depression Scale and the ADL(activities of daily living) showed statistically significant decrease in the VR-game group. The findings in this study suggest that the Wii-based VR training program would reduce depression and enhance or maintain the quality of life in older people with MCI, while delaying the development of moderate dementia. The result may be attributed to the fact that the participation in the program was regarded as a leisure activity by the participants with MCI. Wii can replace the expensive and large-scale existing VR system in the field of the exercise intervention treatment of MCI patients.
