Objective. To analyze the state of the art in language rehabilitation for patients with aphasia secondary to stroke, with emphasis on the use of emerging technologies as therapeutic support. Method. A narrative review of the scientific literature was conducted to identify clinical, therapeutic, and technological trends related to aphasia rehabilitation, particularly the use of digital tools and virtual reality environments in language neurorehabilitation processes. Results. The reviewed evidence shows a growing interest in immersive technologies due to their ability to enhance multisensory stimulation, repetitive practice, and the simulation of functional communicative contexts. Additionally, several studies report potential benefits in patient motivation, engagement, and communicative functionality. However, limitations remain regarding methodological heterogeneity, limited longitudinal clinical validation, and insufficient adaptive personalization of interventions. Conclusion. The literature suggests that virtual reality represents an emerging field with significant potential in language neurorehabilitation, whose advancement will depend on interdisciplinary research with greater clinical, methodological, and technological rigor.
