Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Individuals with human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) experience sensorimotor alterations, which can affect functional performance. Virtual reality (VR) videogaming is a therapeutic option, though there is scarce evidence for its use in this population. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of a VR video game on functional mobility, balance, and gait speed in individuals with HAM/TSP. METHODS: … Show more

“…Clinical care is focused on symptomatic management of spasticity, pain, and bladder and bowel problems 12 . Physiotherapy may have a positive impact on impairments, disability, participation and quality of life 14,15 . A broad range of potentially disease‐modifying therapies have been tried, usually in observational studies, and the best results to date have been with corticosteroids, which may improve pain and motor function acutely and slow disease progression over the long term 12,16 …”

“…Therefore, the participant's psychiatric condition would influence the measurement of the questions' variables. Thus, other researchers such as Da Fonseca et al excluded patients with psychiatric and neurological conditions when they tested an exercise program with the aid of virtual reality in the motor and cognitive improvement of patients with the same disease 5 .…”
