Summary

Because virtual reality can provide more enriched environment, repetitive goal-oriented tasks, and increased patients' interest and motivation, it is expected to stimulate neuroplasticity of injured brain and promote recovery in patients with brain disorders. On the other hand, immersive virtual reality using a head-mounted display has not yet been attempted in the rehabilitation of patients with brain disorders. In addition to the benefits of existing virtual reality or game rehabilitation, immersive virtual reality can further enhance brain plasticity, such as the effect of mirror therapy or action observation, through self-awareness of the body in the virtual space. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of applying the immersive virtual reality using a head-mounted display in patients with upper extremity dysfunction due to brain disorders.
