To determine the scope and use of virtual reality (VR) applications in the gait rehabilitation field and to review and characterise VR approaches for application in amputee rehabilitation.
A state-of-the-art research analysis was completed to review different approaches of VR to the gait rehabilitation field. Systematic research using Medline, EBSCOhost and Science Direct (ISI Web of Knowledge) was conducted to analyse various VR rehabilitation methods, and we developed a framework to characterise different research findings.
Framework for a research approach in the field of VR and rehabilitation was developed based on the literature review. On the basis of outcomes from gait rehabilitation using VR, trials for amputee rehabilitation using VR is warranted and an outline of this potential VR rehabilitation area was identified.
Evidence supports the investigation of VR as applied to amputee rehabilitation based on general gait rehabilitation results. Research should be expanded to better understand the role and use of technology in community-based rehabilitation to enhance the quality of life of individuals.
确定虚拟现实（VR）应用在步态康复领域的范围和用途，并回顾和描述用于截肢者康复的VR方法。
完成了一项前沿研究分析，以回顾VR应用于步态康复领域的不同方法。利用Medline、EBSCOhost和科学Direct（ISI科学网）进行系统研究，以分析各种VR康复方法，并制定了一个框架来描述不同的研究结果。
基于文献综述，制定了VR与康复领域的研究方法框架。根据使用VR进行步态康复的结果，有必要对使用VR进行截肢者康复进行试验，并确定了这一潜在VR康复领域的概况。
基于一般步态康复结果，有证据支持对VR应用于截肢者康复进行研究。应扩大研究范围，以更好地了解技术在社区康复中的作用和用途，从而提高个人的生活质量。
