Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, presents significant challenges to motor skills due to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. Individuals experience tremors, slowness of movement, stiffness, and coordination issues, impacting daily activities. Recognizing the limitations of traditional therapies, there is a growing interest in exploring Virtual Reality (VR) therapy as an innovative intervention. VR offers an immersive platform where individuals can engage in purposeful movements within a controlled virtual environment.
