Effect of home-based virtual reality training and telerehabilitation on balance in individuals with Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In the last decade, there is a growing interest in the use of virtual reality for rehabilitation in clinical and home settings. The aim of this systematic review is to do a summary of the current evidence on the effect of home-based virtual reality training and telerehabilitation on postural balance in individuals with central neurological disorders.

Methods

Literature was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, PEDro, ScienceDirect, and MEDLINE. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effect of home-based virtual reality (VR) training and telerehabilitation (TR) on postural balance in patients with Parkinson's disease, Multiple sclerosis or stroke. Studies were imported to EndNote and Excel to perform two screening phases by four reviewers. Risk of bias was
