The use of virtual reality in physiotherapy sessions is becoming increasingly widespread in clinics, hospitals and other centres. That is why at Rehametrics we innovate and periodically design virtual reality exercises for occupational therapy.
We are pleased to announce that in this new update we are introducing new motivating and gamified exercises to achieve a variety of therapeutic objectives in occupational therapy sessions.
What's new in VR for occupational therapy?
One of the new features of this update is that we are expanding our catalog of activities for occupational therapy. With motivating and realistic scenarios, intuitive movements and immediate feedback, these new activities will be of great use in the sessions.
The use of motivating activities generates greater adherence, less monotony and high motivation in occupational therapy sessions.
We present two new activities that we have introduced:
Painting
Mirror therapy
We have introduced a painting activity, with various game modes. The patient will have to paint with a roller on various parts of a wall.
With this activity we can work on aspects such as:
- Shoulder joint range
- Elbow joint range
We have introduced our mirror therapy activity, with which you can work on the upper limbs. The hand will be mirrored in the virtual reality goggles, providing a more immersive experience than with traditional methods.
With this activity we can work on aspects such as:
- Hemiparesia
- Hemiplegia
- Spatial Neglect
How can virtual reality exercises be used in occupational therapy?
Some patients who may benefit from these exercises are:
- Senior citizens
- Active Aging
- Patients with shoulder injuries
- Patients with elbow injuries
- Post-stroke rehabilitation patients
Rehametrics can also adapt the activities to the needs of the patient:
- You can choose the arm or hand to be treated.
- Adjusting the level
- Adjusting distractors
- Personalizing each of the activities
- With a wide variety of virtual reality exercises for occupational therapy.
