    REALIDAD VIRTUAL Y SU UTILIDAD COMO TRATAMIENTO FISIOTERAPÉUTICO PARA EL ACCIDENTE CEREBROVASCULAR, REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-03-18) Remache Chanatasig, Katerine Paola; Tello Moreno, Mónica Cristina
    Conventional physiotherapeutic treatment has been shown to be effective in addressing the sequelae after stroke however virtual reality immersion as a physiotherapeutic treatment is a promising tool for rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of physiotherapeutic treatment with virtual reality for stroke. The methodology involved searching for randomized controlled trials, clinical trials in PubMed and SciELO databases, following PRISMA guidelines where 17 relevant studies were selected. These showed significant improvements using braces, software, robotic assistance, and home game consoles. Improvements were evident in motor, cognitive and ambulation recovery. The results are promising and support the usefulness of virtual reality as a physiotherapeutic treatment for the timely and effective management of post-stroke sequelae as well as improving quality of life. In conclusion, the virtual reality tools that stand out are the supports that allow the execution of tasks in an agile manner, as well as the combination of these with conventional therapies that enhance the results.
