VR can help you treat many conditions as:
Neurological Conditions
Using VR is an effective and engaging way to improve upper or lower extremity coordination and balance during physical therapy. It helps in many conditions like :
. 1-Parkinson’s disease
· 2-Multiple sclerosis
· 3-Stroke
· 4-Cervical myelopathy
· 5-Spinal cord injury
Any neurological injury that causes difficulty with normal movement may benefit from the use of VR in physical therapy.
Your vestibular system works to coordinate your head movements and positions with your eye movements. Sometimes, an impairment in your vestibular system may cause vertigo and difficulty maintaining upright positions. VR helps in vestibular conditions like:
1- Motor dysfunctions
2-Balance problems
3-Vertigo and Dizziness
Virtual reality headsets may be used to create situations that challenge your visual system while you are in vestibular rehab.
If you are having shoulder pain and have a difficult time reaching, you may enjoy a physical therapy session with a virtual reality device. While wearing the VR headset, video may be displayed that requires you to reach overhead in various direction. VR helps in multiple orthopedic conditions like :
1- Ankle sprains
2- Shoulder pain and impingement
3- After ankle, knee, or hip surgery
4- Back pain, neck pain, and associated radiculopathies
5- Chronic pain management
And we also have programs that provide Stress relief therapy
VR is the “gamification” of treatment that spices up
therapy in ways you couldn't imagine before and it will make you entertained, focused,
and more motivated to beat previous scores.
According to Science direct research, VR-based exercise therapy has been considered for the improvement of pain (41%), functional ability (31%), and muscular strength (24%) compared to other exercises
VR breaks “I can't do this mindset” in injured patients. With VR, you can project yourself into healthy avatars which will drive you to exercise harder and longer while improving your functional outcomes.
The advantage of virtual reality is that the possibilities are essentially endless. Virtual environments can be customized by designing tasks that fit the individual’s cognitive and physical conditions, which is critical in maximizing brain reorganization and reactivating those brain areas involved in motor planning, learning, and execution as well as in maintaining engagement.
