Resumo(s)
In the last decade there have been major developments in the creation of interactive virtual scenarios for the
rehabilitation of motor deficits following stroke. Virtual reality technology is arising as a promising tool to
diagnose, monitor and induce functional recovery after lesions to the nervous system. This evidence has
grown in the last few years, as effort has been made to develop virtual scenarios that are built on the knowledge of mechanisms of recovery. In this paper we review the state of the art virtual reality techniques for rehabilitation of functionality of the upper extremities following stroke. We refer to some of the main systems that
have been developed within different rehabilitative approaches such as learning by imitation, reinforced feedback, haptic feedback, augmented practice and repetition, video capture virtual reality, exoskeletons, mental
practice, action observation and execution, and others. The major findings of these studies show that virtual
reality technologies will become a more and more essential ingredient in the treatment of stroke and other
disorders of the nervous system.
