Abstract
Background: The use of virtual reality (VR) technology continues to grow in the areas of clinical assessment and rehabilitation. Both researchers and health care providers are exploring ways to incorporate VR in clinical practice as an emerging technology. VR postural control and neuropsychological testing represents a promising next step in SRC management.
Aim: This article reviews the current literature on VR applications for SRC assessment.
Relevance for patients: VR-based postural control assessments suggest that visual motion is destabilizing following SRC perhaps indicating persistent perceptual-motion disintegration when clinical postural control tests suggest complete recovery. VR can also provide functional neuropsychological assessments using real-life scenarios or virtual environments, which may be more sensitive than traditional pencil-and-paper or computerized neuropsychological assessments.
