abstract

  • © 2022 by the authors.Virtual reality has been widely used in various industries, such as entertainment, communication, and healthcare, to mention a few. In the health industry, in combination with the brain¿computer interfaces (BCIs), virtual reality could produce rehabilitation measures that may contribute novel strategies such as remote rehabilitation or telerehabilitation. The design and development of BCIs integrate different processes, including biosignals acquisition and processing, feature extraction and selection, classification of signals, and application of the technology to patients under rehabilitation treatments. This manuscript presents a literature review of the papers focused on the implementation of BCI and assistive technologies for remote rehabilitation based on virtual reality implementation. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to identify those studies that take advantage of virtual reality in combination with a biomedical technology to improve the performances of diverse rehabilitation processes. Various revisited studies provided a complete system for remote rehabilitation. These findings could lead to applying these models in diverse rehabilitation tasks.
