Exploring Discussions About Virtual Reality on Twitter to Inform Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Content and Network Analysis

This study found that commentary on ‘Twitter/X’ about using virtual reality (VR) in brain injury rehabilitation is limited with most posts being advertising material. Some users commented on considerations for VR development in brain injury rehabilitation including VR accessibility, app & hardware design, VR sickness, and technical issues. The findings highlight the need for further research on the needs and perspectives of people with brain injury and clinicians in relation to VR use for rehabilitation.
