Effects of immersive and non-immersive virtual reality-based rehabilitation training on cognition, motor function, and daily functioning in patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

VR-based rehabilitation training is a beneficial nonpharmacologic approach for managing mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Immersive VR-based training had greater effects on cognition and motor function than non-immersive VR-based training, but non-immersive VR-based training was more convenient for patients with limitations imposed by their disease. Also, an intervention lasting 5-8 weeks and for >30 min at a frequency of ≥3 times/week achieved the best results. It indicated that a longer intervention cycle may not achieve the best intervention effect and training duration and schedule should be carefully considered when managing patients.
