“…According to previous results in NDDs [ 11 , 22 , 24 ], the use of TR also appears to be suitable for patients with RTT. The main aim of the present study is to determine whether the use of TR with advanced technology (ATR) in patients with RTT leads to greater (or equal) improvements in motor and cognitive functions than basic TR (BTR).…”

“…Taken together, the review studies on advanced TR evidenced the affordability, effectiveness, and suitability of the use of advanced technologies to improve cognitive, emotional, motor, and adaptive skills of children and adolescents with NDD [ 24 ]. These promising results represent a solid theoretical background for the use of advanced technologies as unprecedented opportunities for supporting the implementation of TR services and the development of best practices for patients with NDDs.…”

“…These promising results represent a solid theoretical background for the use of advanced technologies as unprecedented opportunities for supporting the implementation of TR services and the development of best practices for patients with NDDs. However, it is important to note that the application of both advanced and basic TR technologies to patients with cerebral palsy and rare genetic diseases (e.g., Rett Syndrome) has not been sufficiently investigated [ 24 ].…”

The aim of this study is to compare the performances of patients with Rett syndrome that were undergoing advanced telerehabilitation (ATR) and patients that were undergoing basic telerehabilitation (BTR). It was hypothesized that patients that were undergoing ATR training would have better improvement in nearly all the motor and cognitive scale scoring activities that were administered, thus showing reduced disability. A total of 20 young girls and women with a diagnosis of RTT, ranging from age 4 to 31 years old (Median: 12.50; IQR: 9.50–17.25) underwent a pre-test, treatment post-test 1, treatment, and post-test 2 procedure. The treatment consisted of either ATR or BTR, lasting 10 weeks with three sessions a week of about an hour. The results showed that the group with advanced telerehabilitation improved their performance better than the control group only in some neuropsychological measurements. The results are discussed in the light of critical factors of telerehabilitation.

“…Therefore, carrying, holding, and triggering can be done with the controllers of the virtual reality glasses, while body movements such as hand and finger movements or bending and jumping of the human can be transferred to the virtual environment through wearable technologies. Moreover, the process of touching an object in the virtual reality environment can be felt by the human by means of wearable technology [17].…”

Violin is one of the most significant musical instruments of both Turkish and western music. It is a stringed instrument played with a bow. Due to its fretless nature, it is relatively difficult to learn and play the instrument, compared with other musical instruments. In this study, a violin has been modeled to be played in virtual reality and metaverse environment is for a better and more entertaining violin education. Even if the student does not actually have a violin in hand, by means of virtual reality glasses, the modeled violin can be seen in the virtual reality environment. The camera of the Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality Glasses and haptic gloves are used to sense the both student's finger pressing and bow movements. By means of this study, the student does not need to own a real violin. Considering that a good violin has a high cost, the student will not need to spend high cost to buy the instrument. Besides, the biggest problem of the violin and other stringed musical instruments is the tuning of the instrument. Without a good tuning, the strings will not sound harmoniously and the student will not be able to play correctly because of not hearing the correct sound. Tuning ability needs some experience. But there is no tuning problem in the violin modeled in this study since it does not have real strings which means that even a beginner level student will not have a tuning problem. Also, in this study, while playing various exercises and songs, the musical notes needed to be pressed on the violin are highlighted to ensure that the student confirms whether to play correctly. The study is an alternative material of violin education in a more entertaining way.

“…Virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) setups, have currently been adopted as crucial means of new technological-aided programs in different area of public health, namely (a) assessment, (b) diagnosis, (c) recovery, rehabilitation, and wellbeing. With regard to rehabilitative programs, VR has been largely adopted to positively overcome neurological impairments including neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases (Stasolla, 2021 ; Stasolla et al, 2021 ). VR ensures persons with neurological impairments with sensory experiences, computer-mediated in artificial environments, enhancing virtual interactions similarly to the real life.…”
