Virtual Reality Exergaming in Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review and Clinician Roadmap.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Outpatient stroke rehabilitation is expanding as inpatient episodes shorten. Virtual reality (VR) exergaming can extend practice and standardize progression, but setting-specific effectiveness and implementation factors remain unclear. This scoping review mapped VR exergaming in outpatient stroke care and identified technology typologies and functional outcomes. Methods: Guided by the JBI Manual and PRISMA-ScR, searches of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science were conducted in April 2025. The study included adults post-stroke undergoing VR exergaming programs with movement tracking delivered in clinic-based outpatient or home-based outpatient settings. Interventions focused on functional rehabilitation using interactive VR. Results:</
