ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
In recent decades, new virtual reality (VR)-based protocols have been proposed for the rehabilitation of Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN), a debilitating disorder of spatial awareness. However, it remains unclear which type of VR protocol and level of VR immersion can maximize the clinical benefits. To answer these questions, we conducted a systematic review of the use of VR for the rehabilitation of USN.METHOD:
Studies between 2000 and 2022 that met the inclusion criteria were classified according to their research design and degree of immersion (non-immersive, NIVR; semi-immersive, SIVR; immersive, IVR).RESULTS:
A total of 375 studies were identified, of which 26 met the inclusion criteria. Improvements were found in 84.6% of the reviewed studies 85.7% used NIVR, 100% used SIVR and 55.6% used IVR. However, only 42.3% of them included a control group and only 19.2% were randomized control trials (RCT).CONCLUSION:
VR protocols may offer new opportunities for USN rehabilitation, although further RCTs are needed to validate their clinical efficacy.Palabras clave
