  • Abstract
    Virtual reality (VR) has enormous potential as an adjunct in therapy. VR has many of the parameters shown to be effective in motor learning. It induces brain plasticity and benefits may be transferable to the physical world. We describe a novel approach to the rehabilitation of the upper limb using video-capture virtual reality technology.
