Abstract

The work presents an analysis of the application of virtual reality technology in rehabilitation after the occurrence of stroke. The needs in poststroke therapy, as well as the requirements and technological possibilities were investigated, with the result being the creation of the application for post-stroke rehabilitation. Tests on the application, as well as analyzed studies have shown that this way of rehabilitation as an isolated therapy is not enough to improve the condition of patients. The combination of rehabilitation in a virtual and conventional manner provides a positive effect on the improvement of medical patient motor functions based on the surveyed patients.
