Purpose: to observe the possible benefits produced by conventional therapy through virtual reality with the Nintendo Switch to try to improve motivation and increase the degree of care satisfaction. The aim is to improve postural control in both seated and standing positions and to maintain and improve cognitive capacity. Material and methods: one group (experimental group) will receive a total of 8 one-hour sessions or 16 half-hour sessions, depending on their individual needs, for 8 weeks using the Nintendo Switch. The other group (control group) will continue to receive their conventional scheduled therapy. Measures: Abilhand, MEC-Lobo, FIST, Fugl-Meyer, Berg Balance Scale and CSQ-8.

RECRUITINGAbilhand
It is an assessment test that measures the degree of difficulty perceived by the patient in performing the 23 activities of daily living.
Time frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
MEC-Lobo
This is a scale that allows us to evaluate the cognitive status of patients. The lower the score, the greater the cognitive impairment.
Time frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
Function in Sitting Test (FIST)
It is a scale that assesses the postural control deficits presented by the patient in sedentary position in the event of imbalance, reaching on the floor, etc.
Time frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
Fugl-Meyer
This scale assesses the patient's motor function, sensory function, muscle balance, range of joint mobility and joint pain.
Time frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
The scale is used to measure balance mainly in standing position in patients with different types of pathologies.
Time frame: Pre-intervention and post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8)
Self-administered questionnaire that evaluates the level of satisfaction in relation to the care and quality of care received.
Time frame: Post-intervention (up to 1-2 weeks)
