Abstract:

Stroke is very major cause of body disability which also leads to death.There are impairments in body movements, sensory activities, and motor activities in stroke patients.2 off 10 people are getting affected by motor skill disability due to stroke and this rate increasing every year.Diabetes and high blood pressure are the major cause for stroke.In some cases, bleeding from the brain only causes a temporary disruption, known as a transient ischemic attack.The main objective of this paper is to cure patients experiencing stroke through Balance training based Virtual Reality.Considering the advancement in electronics and computer applications, Virtual reality medicine and 3D-technology enhance health care in many-way.Which aslo include surgery,physiotherapy,rehab. During balance training,patient can able to control the voluntary body movements by giving proper actions to disabled location of bone and muscle.This helps to learn more about the application of psychiatry, rehabilitation, stroke recovery for future purposes.
