The metaverse, an immersive virtual environment, is emerging as a transformative tool in rehabilitation, offering innovative modalities for motor and cognitive treatments. Virtual reality augmented within the metaverse facilitate interactive exercises, allowing patients to perform rehabilitative tasks gamified context, which can improve motivation adherence. Furthermore, supports treatments that are not easy carry out during conventional therapy, such rehabilitation of social participation, creates real individuals-based platform continuum care thanks its interoperability. However, challenges technological accessibility, user adaptability, need comprehensive clinical guidelines remain. Future research should focus on long-term efficacy, integration into traditional frameworks, addressing ethical considerations, ultimately positioning valuable adjunct practices.
