“…Surprisingly, there is no application of VR in the area of specialized sports training among competitive athletes. Practising in a virtual environment has been widely used in novice athletes (Neumann et al, 2017), clinical trials and rehabilitation bringing tangible results (Juras et al, 2018). What is more, VR has become a common training tool in various high‐skilled or high‐risk occupational groups such as medical doctors, pilots and flight‐crew or even in mining industry.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the state of the art in the area of virtual reality in competitive athletes of different levels of expertise in various disciplines and point the areas of its application. Articles published before August 2018 were considered in our review. The PubMed, SCOPUS, SportDiscus and Medline databases were searched. A combination of the following search terms was used: virtual reality, virtual environment, virtual system, athletes, sports, physical training, sport performance, physical exercises. Studies involved healthy competitive athletes. A total of 18 articles met the inclusion criteria. There were three areas of application of virtual reality to sport: performance analysis, simulation improvement and virtual training. Competitive athletes were mostly examined in a semi‐immersive setting. In conclusion, virtual reality seems to play a marginal role in competitive athletes’ training. Due to the fact that virtual reality interventions bring significant improvements in clinical research, well‐designed randomized control trials with detailed virtual training programmes are required in the future. Practically, virtual reality is effectively and commonly used to analyse performance in competitive athletes. There is still a need of creating fully interactive VR, where athletes will be able to cooperate with a virtual partner and influence the environment.

“…As an emerging technology, the literature around virtual reality as an educational intervention is relatively limited. Scoping searches revealed papers relating to its use as a clinical intervention (Juras et al, 2018;Levy et al, 2018), in medical training (Vaughan, Dubey, Wainwright, & Middleton, 2016) and within nursing and allied healthcare education (Hammer & Souers, 2004;Ulrich, Farra, Smith, & Hodgson, 2014), with much of the education and training research focused on high risk, invasive skills such as endoscopy and surgery (Khan et al, 2018;Samadbeik et al, 2018).…”

“…However, little evidence exists to support these claims. Four systematic reviews (Table 3) of high to moderate quality 116 have investigated VR rehabilitation targeting balance and gait in PD 23,26,99,117 . Meta-analyses of RCTs in these reviews provided moderate certainty of improvement in balance following VR rehabilitation compared to active but non-VR rehabilitation 26 .…”

Virtual reality in research and rehabilitation of gait and balance in Parkinson disease

et al. 2020

Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for studying and rehabilitating gait and balance impairments in people with Parkinson disease (PD) as it allows users to be engaged in an enriched and highly individualized complex environment. This Review examines the rationale and evidence for using VR in the assessment and rehabilitation of people with PD, makes recommendations for future research and discusses the use of VR in the clinic. In the assessment of people with PD, VR has been used to manipulate environments to enhance study of the behavioural and neural underpinnings of gait and balance, improving understanding of the motor-cognitive neural circuitry involved. Despite suggestions that VR can provide rehabilitation that is more effective and less labour intensive than non-VR rehabilitation, little evidence exists to date to support these claims. Nevertheless, much unrealised potential exists for the use of VR to provide personalized assessment and rehabilitation that optimises motor learning both in the clinic and home environments, and adapts to change in individuals over time. Design of such systems will require collaboration between all stakeholders to maximise useability, engagement, safety and effectiveness. [H1] INTRODUCTIONParkinson disease (PD) is a complex, progressive multi-system neurodegenerative disorder associated with motor and non-motor impairments 1 . The hallmark motor symptoms include bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and postural instability,
