Summary

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 50% of all cases. Advanced age is a significant risk factor for AD. Virtual Reality (VR) is an interactive video game technology that provides computer-generated environments that include physical activity and provide users with experiences similar to those in the real world. VR technology can be used for rehabilitation purposes in individuals with various orthopedic and neurological disorders due to its ability to enhance motor, cognitive learning and neural plasticity (1,2). The aim of our study was to examine the effect of the Virtual Reality Training Program on cognition in individuals with Alzheimer's disease living in the community.
