Stroke survivors often experience debilitating neural, physical, and cognitive impairments, particularly affecting upper limb functions. Conventional rehabilitations, though effective, are perceived as slow and monotonous by stroke survivors. This review explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) as an engaging rehabilitation approach to address such limitations. Our findings show that VR-based rehabilitations can be beneficial in restoring post-stroke upper limb functions and improving routine life of survivors. Moreover, VR offers adaptability, and user-friendliness across age groups. However, further research with larger sample size studies and stronger evidence base is needed to definitively establish the effectiveness of VR in post-stroke rehabilitation.
