Filter by:Children and young people with movement difficulties such as Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) report that traditional therapies are highly repetitive and labourious. This influences enjoyment and participation in regular therapy programmes and may result in reduced adherence to therapy or exercise regimes, limiting effectiveness. This study will build on the team's previous work to explore the potential use of Virtual-Reality (VR) technologies in rehabilitationÍž particularly systems that can be used at home to increase accessibility and reduce need to attend clinics for therapy. During the co-production events of the VR4REHAB Inter Regional North West Europe (NWE) funded programme in 2018, young people desired the use of commercial games for therapeutic purposes. This work has enabled connections between affordable computer technologies: the Raspberry Pi, VR headsets and freely available commercial games. This 2-Phased project is therefore exploring the potential of commercially available virtual reality (VR) systems consoles and games for use in rehabilitation programmes. The Investigators hope to gain information on: 1. Whether commercially produced VR games can provide a motivating environment to support adherence to therapy 2. Whether it is possible to improve reaching and grasp-release hand movements through this method 3. Gain an understanding of the ages of children and young people most likely to benefit from home-based VR therapy User evaluation and performance data and therapist evaluations will be collected and compared to baseline data to provide information on usability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability.
The aim of the present study will be to discover possible (i) improvements achievable in unilateral vestibular hypofunction patients using a self-assessed head-mounted device (HMD)-based gaming procedure when combined with a classical vestibular rehabilitation protocol (HMD group) as compared with a group undergoing only vestibular rehabilitation and (ii) HMD procedure-related side effects. Main outcomes will be: otoneurological testing (vestibulo-ocular reflex gain study by means of vHIT and posturography measures with particular attention on power spectra) and self-report and performance measures (DHI, DGI and ABC). Side effects of HMD implementation will be studied by means of Simulator Sickness Questionnaires. Moreover, second part of the study would collect patients' data one year after the end of the vestibular rehabilitation or its implementation with HMD.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of interactive video-games on mobility and wellbeing and to compare them with activity-based approaches in geriatric population. 100 people living in Bahcelievler nursing home will be evaluated and volunteers who meet the criteria will be included in the study. Persons will be placed in the study groups in consideration of their interests. One group will be included in Nintendo Wii program with balance board, which is the most frequently preferred game consoles in rehabilitation, and video-games will run for 30 minutes two days a week for 8 weeks. The other group will participate a program consisting of various physical activities for the same duration; The results of both groups will be compared with a control group.
Purpose of the article: aim of the present study was to detect the differences between the presence or not of body shadows during a virtual reality (VR) training with BTS NIRVANA (BTsN). Materials and methods: In this pilot study, we enrolled 20 post-stroke rehabilitation inpatients, who underwent a neurocognitive-rehabilitative training consisting of 24 sessions (three times a week for 8 weeks) of BTsN. All the patients were randomized into two groups: Semi-immersive virtual training with (S-IVTSgroup) or without (S-IVTgroup) body shadows. Each participant was evaluated before (T0), and immediately (T1) after the end of the training by a skilled neuropsychologist through the administration of a complete battery, and by a skilled neurologist to assess motor functions.
The investigators have developed the kinect-based upper extremity rehabilitation program and designed this protocol to prove the efficacy of this program. In brief, subacute stroke patients allocated to intervention group will receive the kinect based-rehabilitation program plus conventional occupational therapy and patients allocated to control group will receive the sham virtual rehabilitation plus conventional occupational therapy, for 10 days. 20 patients with subacute stroke will be allocated into each group and after completing the 10 days intervention, they will be assessed by using objective assessment tools for upper extremity function.
