Feasibility of using the Sony PlayStation 2 gaming platform for an individual poststroke: a case report.
TLDR
Virtual reality (VR) is reported to offer an engaging environment that is repetitive, safe, motivating, and gives task-specific feedback and may be used to improve sensory/motor recovery following stroke as an adjunct to standard care physical therapy.Abstract:
:Rationale:Many Americans live with physical functional limitations stemming from stroke These functional limitations can be reduced by task-specific training that is repetitive, motivating, and augmented with feedback Virtual reality (VR) is reported to offer an engaging environment thatread more

A feasibility study using interactive commercial off-the-shelf computer gaming in upper limb rehabilitation in patients after stroke.
TL;DR: Nintendo Wii appears to be a feasible adjunctive device to augment conventional therapy in a cohort of subacute stroke patients with moderate impairments of upper limb strength and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A treadmill and motion coupled virtual reality system for gait training post-stroke.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that persons with stroke are able to adapt to this novel VR system and be immersed in the VEs for gait training and show that, with practice, patients can effectively increase their gait speed as demanded by the task and adapt theirGait with respect to the change in physical terrain.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
