Comparison of brain activation and functional outcomes between physical and virtual reality box and block test: a case study.

These results suggest that an immersive VR system may be able to elicit functional and motor cortex activations that are comparable to the conventional physical BBT. Importantly, these findings highlights the potential benefits of VR therapy as a remote therapy intervention and/or to increase the effectiveness and practicality of current in-person rehabilitation programs.Implications for rehabilitationThese findings highlight the potential benefits of immersive virtual reality as a remote therapy intervention.Immersive virtual reality use has potential benefits to increase the effectiveness and practicality of current in-person rehabilitation programs.
