The term neurological diseases are a general expression encompassing a group of disorders primarily affecting neurons. The general character of neurological diseases is that they are progressive, leading to neuronal loss and consequent impairment of motor and cognitive function. Although symptom relief is possible, current treatments for any neurological disease are not sufficient. However, modifying rehabilitation methods are used. Virtual reality therapies present an alternative treatment approach, leveraging technological advancements, as opposed to traditional rehabilitation methods. The common features of these systems are that they perceive the patient’s movements and provide the opportunity to exercise by creating an interactive environment in line with their needs. Simultaneously, another significant factor is the potential to boost patient motivation through the provided exercises.
