Rehabilitation is a very important part of the patient convalescence after different types of accidents or diseases (for example stroke). The basic aim of this process is to remove the motor system dysfunctions. In traditional perception, it takes the form of the cooperation between patient – therapist. But with the technology development it began to appear simple rehabilitation equipment, which task was to support the rehabilitation work. In that time, rehabilitative devices became increasingly complex and they are friendlier to patients and rehabilitant. It began to appear additional modules to stimulate the patient’s body to recover quicker. One of these modules is virtual reality (VR), which is described in this article. All of these devices are prepare to accelerate and improve rehabilitation. Additionally they help therapists in their hard and monotonous work.
