VR exergaming for rehab clinics
Rehab your patients want to repeat.
Vital Heroes is a VR exergame for cardiac, pulmonary, musculoskeletal and neuro rehab. Patients answer health questions by throwing, slicing, drawing a bow and swinging, so every quiz answer is also a movement.
- Standalone Meta Quest, no sensors
- English and Bulgarian
- Awareness tool, not a medical device
Sound familiar?
It's not a motivation problem. It's a monotony problem.
Patients nod at the advice, do the exercise sheet twice, then come back with the same questions. The education is right. The format is a chore.
What you've probably tried
- Printed leafletsRead once, then lost in a drawer.
- Exercise sheetsThe same reps every day, so they're the first thing skipped.
- Videos on a tabletWatched sitting down. Nobody moves.
Vital Heroes puts the lesson and the movement in the same moment.

Research
What the research says, and what it doesn't.
Chronic back and neck pain
A 2024 meta-analysis of 28 RCTs with 1,114 adults found VR-assisted active training reduced back and neck pain versus conventional training, with no significant effect for knee pain.
Lo et al., JMIR 2024
Stroke
A 2025 review of 66 studies found VR exergaming “appears clinically viable for outpatient stroke rehabilitation”. Adherence was generally high and adverse events were mild and infrequent.
Cieślik, J Clin Med 2025
Cardiac
A 2022 meta-analysis of 733 patients found exergaming comparable to conventional cardiac rehab, not better.
Blasco-Peris et al., IJERPH 2022
These are studies of VR exergaming in general, not of Vital Heroes. That's why we pitch engagement, not outcomes.
Questions, answered
No. It's a health-awareness and engagement tool. It does not diagnose, treat or support medical decisions, and it complements the care plan your team sets.
