Virtual reality (VR) stroke rehabilitation is a technology-based therapy that employs immersive or semi-immersive VR environments to assist stroke patients in regaining motor, cognitive, and functional abilities. It aims to deliver engaging, repetitive, and task-specific exercises that promote neuroplasticity, enhance motor coordination, and accelerate functional recovery.
The primary rehabilitation types of virtual reality (VR) stroke rehabilitation are physical rehabilitation and cognitive rehabilitation. Physical rehabilitation involves VR-based exercises and simulations designed to improve motor function, coordination, and overall physical recovery in stroke patients. These solutions incorporate hardware, software platforms, and therapeutic content, and are suitable for both short-term and long-term patients. VR applications include motor skills training, cognitive skills training, sensory training, and pain management, with key end-users such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and home-based rehabilitation settings.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
