Abstract

In the present research we provide an overview of new solutions and problems of wearable and virtual reality devices for neurorehabilitation. A lot of commercial devices currently help physiotherapist to provide rehabilitation for reaching, grasping, walking and balance recovery, adapting cognitive load and providing challenging exercises. The present review highlighting the positive step made by the translational research and the unsolved problems. In particular, a critical step over to increase usability should be made in the future because wearable devices and virtual reality should represent a promising option to ensure a prolonged home rehabilitation.
