Neuropsychological rehabilitation is the discipline in charge of treating the cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders that originate as a result of brain damage, due to traumatic brain injury, hypoxia, stroke or tumors. We made a review of the tools for traditional and virtual neuropsychological rehabilitation, to determine the influence of each in the process of neuropsychological rehabilitation. The results revealed that two methods are reliable and valid in the processes of intervention for these kind of patients; however at the moment the virtual rehabilitation is generating easier access to this system, due to the creation of software specialized in rehabilitation. In conclusion, the review established that the two modalities are adequate, but the virtual modality has been developed for more integration of technological and scientific advances, resulting in improvement in a short time and with less cost.
