This paper aims to evaluate and discuss the results obtained in the article PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF THE USABILITY AND USER EXPERIENCE OF THE VR ALZHEIMER APPLICATION BY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS AND PATIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. In it, the VR Alzheimer's interface is validated against the usability and user experience metrics included in the questionnaires: System Usability Scale and Single Usability Metric, which were applied to physiotherapists in the CESUPA Physiotherapy Clinic. The performance analysis related to the use of virtual reality in gait therapy in patients with Alzheimer's disease was carried out using the user experience questionnaire, which was adapted to facilitate the collection of their experience. And then the main conclusions, general discussion and future perspectives of the research are presented.
