Although upper-extremity illnesses and injuries seldom pose a threat to life, improper management can lead to serious dysfunction. The current status of employing virtual reality to aid in the rehabilitation of patients with upper extremity injuries and disorders is discussed in this article, along with how these conditions affect upper-extremity functions. The research study determines thr role of virtual reality in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for athletes. The research based on primary data analysis for measuring the research used Smart PLS software. To give a thorough overview of the field of virtual reality for upper-extremity rehabilitation, a scoping study was carried out. Between April and May 2021, two separate researchers searched PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to find pertinent literature, which were then analyzed using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eleven studies of different target groups were found as a consequence of the literature research. Virtual reality technology was divided into two categories: game-based systems and multimodal high-end systems. Virtual reality-based technologies did not perform worse than conventional therapy in terms of functional recovery. The users also expressed great satisfaction and motivation. The findings highlight the need for more robust, empirically supported virtual reality solutions for upper extremity injury and illness rehabilitation.
