The review found that VR exercise positively impacted physical fitness, muscle strength, and balance, as well as psychological outcomes like reduced fatigue, tension, and depression. Additionally, VR exercise contributed to rehabilitation in patients with conditions like chronic stroke, spinal cord injury, and cognitive decline. However, the study calls for more rigorous research to confirm these findings due to limitations in existing studies. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
