Background. The purpose of this review is to determine the prospects for using virtual reality technologies in combination with the brain-computer interface in motor rehabilitation. The use of virtual reality technology (hereinafter referred to as VR) in medicine is a relevant area that opens up new prospects in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. VR covers more and more areas of medicine and will be able to become its integral part, helping doctors improve the methods of diagnosis and treatment of various diseases that already exist. Materials and methods. This review presents existing developments, innovative projects and research in the field of VR used in medical education and practice. Results and conclusions. Particular attention is paid to the use of VR technologies in neurorehabilitation. The studies below reflect not only need for this technology in medicine, but also show the effectiveness and superiority of VR over traditional approaches, VR is a rapidly developing trend in the training of medical personnel, due to the unique ability to simulate real situations that require a quick and accurate response. VR allows for the creation of personalized rehabilitation programs, for example, after acute cerebrovascular accident and various injuries, providing patients with maximum involvement in the recovery process.
