Some current and future therapy methods include the use of
virtual reality and video games for rehabilitation. These forms of rehabilitation offer potential for motivating people to perform specific therapy tasks that many other forms do not. Recently updated systematic reviews (2025) have found moderate to low-certainty evidence supporting the benefits of virtual reality and interactive video gaming on improving gait speed, balance, participation and quality of life. Many clinics and hospitals are adopting the use of these off-the-shelf devices for exercise, social interaction, and rehabilitation because they are affordable, accessible and can be used within the clinic and home.
