Introduction: Stroke is a time-dependent cerebrovascular disease characterized by a sudden alteration of blood in the brain, which also corresponds to the first cause of morbidity and mortality in adults worldwide. For this reason, new treatment strategies are currently being studied for the rehabilitation of people affected by this disease, among which virtual reality (VR) stands out. Objectives: To determine the effects of the application of virtual reality in the rehabilitation process of people affected by a stroke. Material and methods: To carry out the following bibliographic review, a search has been carried out between the months of January and March 2023. This search was made including articles published between 2016 and 2023 in the following databases: Medline Pubmed, Science Direct and Cochrane. Results: Five articles were selected, four of which correspond to systematic reviews with meta-analysis, one of which is a randomized controlled trial. A doctoral thesis has also been included as a result. Conclusions: Stroke is the main cause of physical disability in adults worldwide. For this reason, it is necessary to develop new strategies to address this disease and thus reduce morbidity and mortality. Scientific evidence confirms the positive effect of the application of VR in the rehabilitation of people affected by a stroke, especially in the balance ability. A new generation of studies should confirm the dose, frequency, intensity, duration and form of progression of RV to achieve better treatment efficacy, as well as the consideration of these variables taking into account the gender perspective ​
