    Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are revolutionizing rehabilitation by offering innovative solutions across various medical specialties, particularly in physiotherapy. This chapter delves into the principles and current applications of VR and AR in healthcare, highlighting their success in enhancing motor skills, cognitive therapy, pain management, and psychological rehabilitation. VR and AR have been instrumental in improving patient outcomes, such as accelerating motor skills recovery post-stroke by 30%, reducing pain perception by 35% in burn treatments, and improving memory performance in Alzheimer’s patients by 25%. Furthermore, VR facilitates surgical training, reducing operation times by 20%, and assists in treating mental health conditions like PTSD and phobias. However, challenges such as technological barriers, data privacy concerns, and user adoption issues persist. Future advancements in haptic feedback, AI-driven personalized therapies, and tele-rehabilitation promise to further integrate VR and AR into effective and inclusive rehabilitation practices. This chapter aims to provide insights into the transformative potential of immersive technologies in rehabilitation, emphasizing their role in creating more effective and inclusive therapeutic environments.

    3He is currently working as a lecturer at Dicle University Atatürk Vocational School of Health Services as an assistant professor in the field of Public Health at Fırat University (2023) with my thesis on the evaluation of patients coming to the Muscle Diseases Center. in Public Health from Dicle University (2018) and M.Sc. Atılım University Health Institutions Management Bachelor’s Degree (2016). He completed his undergraduate education at Dokuz Eylül University, Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation (2010). My career has included many positions. He started working as a physiotherapist at Balıklı Göl State Hospital (2010-2011), then served as Head of the Department of Physical Therapy at Diyarbakır Training and Research Hospital (2011-2014). Later, he became a lecturer and program head at Bingöl University Vocational School of Health Services (2014-2018), and also served as Head of the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation until 2022. He has been working as a lecturer at Dicle University since 2022. He is a member of the Turkish Physiotherapists Association and the Neuromuscular Working Group. I hold various certifications including Clinical Pilates Therapy level 1 to 3, Kinesiology Taping and have received training in neuromuscular diseases from the Department of Health. He contributed to international journals with his studies on COVID-19 anxiety, myocardial strain in congenital myopathy patients, and evaluation of cardiomyopathy in muscular dystrophy. His studies, such as evaluating the satisfaction levels of families of patients hospitalized in a pediatric hospital, are also included in national journals.
