Abstract: This study applies Virtual Reality Technology to the rehabilitation treatment of patients who suffered from dyskinesia caused by brain diseases. First, samples of patients who suffered from acute stroke are randomly divided into a control group (traditional rehabilitation) and an experimental group (VR rehabilitation). Then, Participants are examined and evaluated from physical dyskinesia, body balance capacity and daily living skills before rehabilitation, at rehabilitation 4 weeks and 12 weeks respectively. Finally, statistical analysis of related data is made. According to the study, before rehabilitation, at rehabilitation 4 weeks and rehabilitation 12 weeks, the physical motor Furg-Meyer indicating gage score, Fugl-Meyer body balance functional score and daily living skill Barthel index of the experimental group are all higher than the control group. Thus, VR rehabilitation therapy can be effective in improving the physical dyskinesia caused by cerebrovascular disease and the daily living skill of the patient.
