Abstract

This narrative review provides a brief overview of the current literature on technology-based interventions for the neurorehabilitation of persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The role of brain–computer interfaces, exergaming/virtual-reality-based exercises, robot-assisted therapies and wearables is discussed. It is expected that technology-based neurorehabilitation will gain importance in the management of PD patients, although it is often not clear yet whether this approach is superior to conventional therapies. High-intensity technology-based neurorehabilitation may hold promise with respect to neuroprotective or neurorestorative actions in PD. Overall, more research is required in order to obtain more data on the feasibility, efficacy and safety of technology-based neurorehabilitation in persons with PD.
