Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease globally. Currently, the motor symptoms of PD are treated by combining medication and physiotherapy. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the use of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in the treatment of motor symptoms in PD. The methodology consisted of a systematic search of scientific articles in PubMed with keywords related to the topic. Although the information on the subject in the scientific literature is limited, the available studies show that rehabilitation strategies that apply virtual reality have a positive effect on distance (p = 0.001), step rate (p = 0.003) and mobility of the upper extremities (p = 0.002) in patients with PD. Likewise, several authors show the potential of IVR to offer patients a motivating and immersive therapy. Thus, immersive virtual reality technology, which is under constant development, could represent a viable strategy for rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease.
