BENEFITS FOR THERAPIST

It is suggested repetition of movement and duration of training are factors that may optimize motor rehabilitation outcome and ability to perform ADL, although dose-response effects and difficulty level of each task should be assessed to ensure an optimal therapy dosing. Our VR system is believed to help increasing the rehabilitation dosage and to provide significant amounts of therapy to patients thus enabling simulated practice of functional tasks. It is also suggested that VR systems can help increase the dosage of therapy without needing to increase staffing levels. VR systems can be equipped with a tracking functionality, allowing therapists to monitor their patients’ progression without the need for physical supervision at all time. Using this VR system and following an exercise program predefined by their therapist, patients can then participate in a more intensive and frequent training without increasing staffing and achieve positive results in their upper limb recovery.
