“…Braga et al stated that flight fear is a real problem affecting most people in this world [34]. The authors state that in this study, a VR application has been developed in the computer environment that encourages systematic exposure to stimuli that cause a significant increase in anxiety levels related to fear of flight.…”

Biofeedback therapy trains the patient to control voluntarily the involuntary process of their body. This non-invasive and non-drug treatment is also used as a means to rehabilitate the physical impairments that may follow a stroke, a traumatic brain injury or even in neurological aspects within occupational therapy. The idea behind this study is based on using immersive gaming as a tool for physical rehabilitation that combines the idea of biofeedback and physical computing to get a patient emotionally involved in a game that requires them to do the exercises in order to interact with the game. This game is aimed towards addressing the basic treatment for ‘Frozen Shoulder’. In this work, the physical motions are captured by the wearable ultrasonic sensor attached temporarily to the various limbs of the patient. The data received from the sensors are then sent to the game via serial wireless communication. There are two main aspects to this study: motion capturing and game design. The current status of the application is a single ultrasonic detector. The experimental result shows that physio-therapeutic patients are benefited through the IoT based virtual reality game.

“…Besides focusing on exposure to VR, VRE frequently combines other psychotherapeutic procedures, such as cognitive behavioral therapy protocols (e.g., Braga et al, 2017). However, behavioral therapy procedures which emphasize functional analysis of behaviors (Skinner, 1953), as mentioned earlier, are hardly ever combined to VRE (cf., Botella et al, 2017).…”

Behavioral therapy combined with a virtual reality exposure (VRE) component can be useful for the treatment of fears and phobias. This study aimed to: (a) describe and evaluate a behavioral therapy procedure amplified by VRE for the treatment of fear of height and (b) record sense of presence and cybersickness during exposure to assess the Virtua Therapy simulator. The procedure consisted of: an initial session; six therapy sessions, which included graduate exposure, prevention of escape-avoidance responses, and functional analyses of behaviors; two follow-up sessions. Sense of presence and cybersickness were recorded. The intervention decreased the participants’ levels of anxiety and the frequency of avoidance of situations involving heights in the virtual environment, and they reported decreases in day-to-day avoidance responses, demonstrating therapeutic effects. The simulator produced sense of presence. Cybersickness occurred primarily during the first session, indicating habituation effect. It was concluded that the Virtua Therapy simulator is an appropriate device for behavioral therapy.
