Pressure garments (PGs), originally designed for burn and vascular conditions, have gained interest in neurorehabilitation for enhancing proprioceptive input and neuromuscular modulation. However, their scope and effectiveness remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To map current literature on the application of PGs in neurological disorders and evaluate their effects on sensorimotor function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O\u2019Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

PGs showed potential benefits in improving proprioception, motor control, and postural stability, especially in stroke and cerebral palsy. However, evidence for spasticity reduction and long-term outcomes was inconsistent. Studies varied in garment type, intervention protocols, and outcome measures, with common methodological limitations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PGs may serve as useful adjuncts in neurorehabilitation to enhance sensorimotor function.
