Purpose: Use of virtual reality environments in cognitive rehabilitation offers cost benefits and other advantages. In order to test the effectiveness of a virtual reality application for neuropsychological rehabilitation, a cognitive training program using virtual reality was applied to stroke patients. Methods: A virtual reality-based serious games application for cognitive training was developed, with attention and memory tasks consisting of daily life activities. Twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned to two conditions: exposure to the intervention, and waiting list control. Results: The results showed significant improvements in attention and memory functions in the intervention group, but not in the controls. Conclusions: Overall findings provide further support for the use of VR cognitive training applications in neuropsychological rehabilitation.
